What you need to know about the Innovation Fund
The programme is expected to allocate some 38 billion euros by 2030 to finance Europe's decarbonisation
Check out the new calls of the Horizon 2020 programme that offer co-financing to public procurers across Europe to implement pre-commercial procurements and public procurements of innovative solutions.
Funding is available for procurements in the areas of health, security, energy, transport, satellite and research infrastructures.
Through innovation procurement the public sector can drive innovation from the demand side. This enables the public sector to modernize public services faster while creating opportunities for companies in Europe to bring research results to the market and gain leadership in new markets.
Horizon 2020 supports two complementary types of innovation procurement: Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) addresses the development and testing of innovative solutions, Public Procurement of Innovative solutions (PPI) focuses on the deployment of innovative solutions. Examples of ongoing PCP and PPI projects.
Check out the new calls with submission deadlines in 2020:
PCP actions (co-finance at max 90% the actual purchase of R&D to get new innovative solutions developed and tested, plus at 90+25% related coordination and networking costs)
PPI actions (co-finance at max 35% the actual purchase of innovative solutions, plus at 35+25% related coordination and networking costs)
CSA actions (co-finance at max 100%+25% the coordination and networking costs to prepare future PCP or PPI actions)
Note that in PCP actions, procurers implement one joint PCP procurement. For PPI actions proposers can choose between implementing one joint PPI procurement or several separate but coordinated PPI procurements.

To help procurers in H2020 funded PCPs and PPIs, the EC has published (last update October 2017) Guidance for PCP tender documents and Guidance for PPI tender documents: These guidance documents include templates for OJEU notices to announce the open market consultation, to launch the call for tender and to announce the winning bidders. There is also a template for the request for tenders (for PCPs this also includes a Framework Agreement covering the whole PCP and specific contracts for each PCP phase).
