Prior Information Notice Published: SHIELD PCP Prepares for the OMC

4 December, 2025

The SHIELD PCP project has released its Prior Information Notice (PIN), providing early details about the upcoming Open Market Consultation (OMC) and the planned Pre-Commercial Procurement process. The PIN gives suppliers and technology providers an initial overview to help them prepare for their potential involvement.

The PIN introduces the objectives and scope of the PCP on public space protection and crowd management, outlining the next steps leading to the launch of the OMC. The consultation will play a key role in validating operational needs, reviewing the technological landscape, and informing the development of the tender specifications.

Insights gathered through these activities will help ensure that the PCP process attracts innovative and feasible technological solutions and supports the development of prototypes and pre-operational tools aligned with end-user needs.

The PIN is available here.

Further information about the OMC will be published soon.
