Getting to know the market is what successful PPIs do. The overall objective of an Open Market Consultation is to gather information from the market with a view to later procurement, and to inform potential suppliers of the authority’s needs. For RITMOCORE the open market consultation was a valuable instrument to verify market readiness, to create engagement, to facilitate different stakeholders meeting each other, and to increase acceptance and awareness.

The Open Market Consultation was launched through the publication by the lead procurer of a Prior Information Notice (PIN) on the Official Journal of the European Union. For the aims of OMC a set of open events (in presence and/or via webinar) were organized by the partners involved in the project, at European (mostly to identify industrial players) and local level (to promote co-creation and partnership), in which the RITMOCORE approach was presented and discussed and the feedback from the market, as well as from other interested stakeholders, was collected.
