DrugDetect, an innovation procurement European project for drug detection in correctional institutions and prisons, is organising an event that aims to bring together all interested organisations giving them the opportunity to discuss new technologies, innovative solutions and find qualified European suppliers. The upcoming physical and virtual event will take place on 7 July 2022, and on 12-15 July 2022 in Brussels, Belgium.

 

You can register to attend until 5 July 2022.

 

What is DrugDetect? 

The DrugDetect is an innovation procurement European project for drug detection in correctional institutions and prisons. 

The project is co-funded by the COSME programme of the European Union and kicked off in January 2022 with 36 months duration. The project’s main goal is to procure an innovative solution for the automatic detection of a large range of drugs in correctional institutions and prisons, that is available 24/7, does not cause delays in internal processes, does not require minimal human intervention, and is GDPR compliant. 

DrugDetect is addressing a need that is widely shared by prisons throughout Europe and in this context the project has gathered a representative, geographically balanced consortium of 4 public buyers (KEMEA, DJI, DG-EPI, ESMIR) from 4 European countries (Greece, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain) with an average inmates’ population of 40.000.

 

Why attend the DrugDetect Open Market Consultation? 

This event aims to bring together all interested organisations, buyers as well as suppliers, from various European countries, giving them the opportunity to discuss new technologies, innovative solutions and find qualified European suppliers during plenary sessions and one-to one meetings. 

During this event, the DrugDetect consortium will discuss the legislation which creates opportunities and restrictions in various countries, the use cases of the desired equipment, the procurement process, the capabilities of companies to deliver, and innovative features of the detection solutions. 

The innovation potential identification, through an interactive process, will be a primary objective that will pave the way to establishing the new requirements, forming the specifications, and eventually resulting in a highly competitive Call for Tenders
