  exclusively to the contracting authority for its
  use in the conduct of its own affairs, on
  condition that the service provided is wholly
  remunerated by the contracting authority.

• Act CVIII of 2011 on Public Procurement
• Design contests
• Competitive dialogues

Pilot projects in Hungary
The project RAPIDE - Bringing innovative products
and services to the market more quickly- was an
example of a RFEC project active on
pre-commercial procurement. The RAPIDE Innovative
Procurement Working Group led by Észak-Alföld
Region (HU) piloted the application of structural
funds resources to setup pre-commercial
procurement programmes. Further

The goal of PROGR-EAST was to encourage the use
of Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP), in 5
targeted European Countries (PL, CZ, SK, HU and
SL), taking into consideration the specific needs
and constraints for public procurement and in
particular for the procurement of RD existing in
Eastern Europe. The aim is to introduce
innovative PCP strategies to public authorities,
universities and industrial stakeholders, and
transfer successful experiences implemented in
other European and external regions to implement
innovative public services.  Pilot project ?
