This contract award notice informs interested operators about the outcome of a tender. On 29 October 2025, a contract notice was published as part of the CCC project to purchase R&D services from a number of R&D providers in parallel (PCP procurement). The procurement aims to trigger new solutions to be developed and tested to address two challenges that correspond to an overarching need to increase the number of concrete practices in the Baltic Sea region that would drive the transition to circular economy. As the common challenge exists of a number of sub-challenges, the procurement is divided into 2 lots as described below in sections for Lots 1 and 2, each corresponding to one sub-challenge. Each of these lots is split into 2 phases. The CCC project highlights the immense potential of the cultural and creative sectors and industries in the transition to a more circular society and believes that innovations to speed up the circular transition would benefit from the inclusion of these stakeholders in developing the solutions. All tender documents are made available on the project website: https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/ccc/ Each lot of the PCP structured in two phases: • Phase 1: A minimum of 3 operators per lot have been selected, with each receiving up to EUR 10 000 (VAT inclusive) to explore solutions. The process allows for flexibility to fund up to 10 operators if justified. • Phase 2: A minimum of 2 operators per lot will be selected for pilot development, with each receiving up to EUR 33 250 (VAT inclusive). The Buyers’ Group reserved the right to select a lower number of suppliers (contractors) in case no suitable tenders are submitted. In any case the Buyers Group aims to have at least three suppliers per lot in Phase 1 and two suppliers per lot in Phase 2.
