Creative Circular Cities - Promoting circular transition at local level by involving the Culture & Creative Sectors and Industries
CCC
In preparation for the Pre-Commercial Procurement CCC publishes its Open Market Consultation report
04 September 2025
The Open Market Consultation summarizes the Open Market Consultation (OMC) conducted on 30 June 2025 under the Creative Circular Cities (CCC) project. The OMC aimed to validate six city-specific circular economy challenges, engage with stakeholders, and gather market
intelligence to inform the preparation of a Pre-Commercial Procurement.
The Pre-Commercial Procurement is a process that, instead of purchasing existing products, funds research and development in phases – starting from concept design, moving through prototyping, and ending with real-world testing. In this way, PCP allows cities to shape market-ready solutions that align with their strategic needs, especially in areas where no adequate products exist today.
