The suHCO Matchmaking Platform provides a dedicated space for organisations interested in forming consortia ahead of the upcoming pre-commercial procurement (PCP).
Tenderers can choose to apply together with (international) partners in a joint tender. Consortium-based applications allow organisations to combine complementary expertise, share development capacity, and meet the full range of technical, organisational, and market-related requirements set out in the tender.
The suHCO Matchmaking Platform has been set up to actively support this consortium-building process. Organisations can create profiles that are visible to other potential applicants, making it easier to identify suitable partners and establish strong, balanced consortia. Profiles are designed to highlight key strengths and interests, helping participants quickly assess potential collaborations.
On the platform, organisations can indicate:
- The areas of expertise they offer (e.g. AI, digital platforms, sustainability/circular economy, health & care)
- The expertise or capabilities they are looking for in potential partners
- Their preferred role in a consortium, i.e. as coordinator or partner
