PSCE Extends BroadWay Request for Tender Deadline

Source: The Critical Communications Review | Gert Jan Wolf editor

Public Safety Communications Europe (PSCE) announced that it has extended the request for tender due to the high number of questions regarding the Pre Commercial Procurement (PCP) process.

BroadWay has received an incredible level of interest: more than 140 registrations and downloads of our Request for Tender. More than 80 attended both of our online and briefing/partnering events, representing more than 60 innovative organisations. More than 55 questions have been raised which further demonstrates the level of interest, but also represents the difficulty of understanding the Pre Commercial Procurement (PCP) instrument.

This new (PCP) process is clearly taking some time to understand with many questions relating to Intellectual Property Rights, agility within consortia and place of performance and subcontractor requirements.

The BroadWay Group of Procurers has therefore made a decision to extend the deadline for receipt of tenders. This deadline is now set to :

Thursday 22nd August 2019 1200CEST.

The official erratum has been accepted by Belgian e-procurment today, and will appear through official channels (OJEU/TED) early next week.

The Questions and and Answers period is reopened with a deadline of 18th June 2019.
