Additional information : A PIN announces the OMC of a future PPI of pentesting services. PPI is an approach that allows public procurers to buy innovative solutions, and/or include requirements for continuous innovations and improvements in the manner the services are delivered. Overall, the OMC aims to: (1) Validate the findings of the preliminary market analysis and the viability of the set of technical and financial provisions. (2) Raise awareness to the industry regarding the potential future PPI. (3) Collect insights from the industry which can be used to finetune the tender specifications and publish a more qualitative tender. All OMC activities, including surveys, the Q&A document, webinars (dates and content) as well as registration information will be published for transparency purposes ( https://www.publicprocurement.be/). Specifically, all information provided during the OMC and other background information will be published online in English. Participation in the OMC is voluntary and not a prerequisite for participating in the PPI tender, however, market players are encouraged to participate as their feedback will be useful to finetune the procurement strategy.
