The oncNGS project and consortium

oncNGS is a European project which goal is to encourage the development of high-quality cancer diagnostics for cancer patients and to relieve health and care services budget pressure throughout the implementation of a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) scheme.

We are looking for innovative solutions that can improve outcomes for patients suffering from advanced cancers. We seek innovation in sample analysis, data interpretation and standardized reporting.

oncnGS brings together 8 procurers from 5 countries and 6 supporting entities:

Open Market Consultation (OMC) Details and Purpose 

In preparation of the PCP call for tender, an Open Market Consultation (OMC) with potential tenderers and end-users will be held to broach the views of the market about our scope. The purpose of the OMC is to canvass wide stakeholder opinion on the suitability of oncNGS PCP. With the market consultation, the consortium will get an insight into the market, the state of the art and future developments in order to prepare an adequate procurement with the right and feasible scope. The answers to any of the oncNGS OMC questionnaires will be used for research purposes only under the frame of the oncNGS project.

Types of data to be collected

During the OMC phase, oncNGS will collect your organisation and your personal contact data. oncNGS might also collect: your views on the scope of the tender, your opinion about Pre-Commercial Procurement as an instrument and your organisation information to look for partners (voluntary).

Recipients of the Information 

If you are not looking for partners to form a Consortium, your replies will be shared exclusively within the oncNGS consortium partners. If you are looking for partners, your answers to the oncNGS OMC supply-side questionnaire will be published in the oncNGS website (https://oncngs.eu/) so that other potential vendors can contact you.
