The target group that this PCP-Challenge looks to address is for those who require assistance by care staff in activities in daily life in order to continue living independently in their own homes, even when facing multiple physical and mental disabilities. These solutions should add to improved cost-effectiveness in the homecare sector. The main goal of the SILVER challenge is to develop new innovative robotic solutions that interact with the elderly in order to assist them with personal activities of daily living. These solutions are not yet on the market, but can be developed and tested within the SILVER PCP period of 2-3 years. These robotics solutions will be able to take over all or part of the work of care givers. Tenderers should aim at a market introduction of their new solution a maximum of 2-4 years after the end of the PCP. In 2020 the new solutions should make it possible to care for 10 % more people with the same amount of staff. But this challenge is not only about costs and time saving, it is also about improving the quality of life of elderly citizens and help them contribute to society as they grow older.The Challenge will run through a 3 phased life-cycle.Phase 1 is intended to demonstrate the feasibility of proposed concepts for new solutions. The contracts placed for Phase 1 will be for the duration of 6 months and a maximum price of 40 000 EUR (excluding VAT). A budget of maximum 350 000 EUR (incl. VAT) is available for a maximum of 8 projects in Phase 1. The number of awarded contracts depends on the price of the tenders and the required minimum score of the tenders.Phase 2 is intended to develop and evaluate prototypes or demonstrators from the more promising concepts in Phase 1. Phase 2 is dependent upon successful completion of Phase 1 and contracts may be awarded to selected Phase 1 contractors. It is anticipated that the budget will be 720 000 EUR (including VAT) for a maximum of 4 projects. The contracting authorities will test the solutions coming from the pilots. In Phase 2 of the project this will likely be done for any one pilot in a single centre (e.g. the living labs in the Region of Southern Denmark). More information on the testing location(s) will be made available during Phase 1. The contracts placed for Phase 2 will be for the duration of 12 months. The number of awarded contracts depends on the budget, the price of the tenders and the required minimum score of the tenders.Phase 3 is intended for the original development of a limited volume of first products/ services (test series). Contracts for Phase 3 may be awarded to selected Phase 2 contractors that have successfully completed Phase 2. For this phase, it is anticipated that a budget of 1 080 000 EUR (including VAT) is available for a maximum of 3 projects. In Phase 3, testing will be done in a real environment. The contracting authorities will test the solutions coming from the pilots in all the procuring countries. In this way the SILVER consortium can ensure that any locally required differences (e.g. to cope with different languages or local building regulations) can be covered whilst not burdening the pilots early on by having to cope with multiple testing centres. The final decision on which procurer will take responsibility for testing which project will be taken before Phase 3 commences. In this way it will be easier to match the needs of the pilot projects to the testing capabilities / facilities of the procurers. The contracts placed for Phase 3 will be for the duration of 12 months. The number of awarded contracts depends on the budget, the price of the tenders and the required minimum score of the tenders.The Technology Strategy Board, will act as the Authority that carries out the PCP procurement on behalf and in the name of a cross-border group of SILVER contracting authorities with the following parties:City of Odense (Denmark), City of Oulu (Finland), City of Stockport (UK), City of Vantaa (Finland), City ofVasteras (Sweden), Region of Southern Denmark (Denmark), City of Eindhoven (the Netherlands). Until 7 days prior to the deadline for bids for Phase 1 per country of the SILVER contracting authorities, one new procuring entity may enter the group of SILVER contracting authorities and become an equal partner in the group of SILVER contracting authorities with the same rights as the other contracting authorities. Tenderers and contractors will be immediately informed about changes in the group of SILVER contracting authorities.Please note this is a PCP, adhering to the EU Treaty Principles but not subject to the Public ContractRegulations 2006, the EU Public Procurement Directives or the WTO/GPA.Please see www.silverpcp.eu for more information.Awards
