Studio Amica
Studio Amica is a technology company specializing in digital solutions for public administration, with a strong focus on e-procurement and innovation-oriented processes. With over 20 years of experience in supporting public sector transformation, Studio Amica develops platforms that simplify complex procedures, ensure regulatory compliance, and promote greater transparency and efficiency across all stages of procurement. Among its flagship solutions is TUTTOGARE PA, a comprehensive and fully digital e-procurement platform designed to support contracting authorities in managing the entire procurement lifecycle — from planning and publication to evaluation and contract award. Built in alignment with national and European procurement regulations, TUTTOGARE PA offers a modular, secure, and user-friendly environment that meets the daily needs of public buyers.
One of the most advanced and strategic components of the platform is the Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) module, specifically developed to enable and streamline innovation procurement. Pre-commercial procurement allows public administrations to engage with market operators — including startups, SMEs, research centres, and universities — to co-develop new solutions through R&D contracts. This approach fosters innovation without immediately purchasing off-the-shelf products, allowing administrations to guide the creation of technologies that respond to unmet societal and organizational needs. The PCP module within TUTTOGARE PA provides all the necessary tools to navigate this complex process with ease: structured workflows, customizable documentation, compliance monitoring, and mechanisms for managing multi-phase procedures and market consultations. It empowers public bodies to launch competitive and transparent innovation pathways while ensuring full traceability and adherence to legal requirements. By integrating innovation procurement into a trusted e-procurement ecosystem, Studio Amica helps public administrations transition from traditional purchasing to strategic procurement for innovation, positioning them as active contributors to technological advancement and public value creation. Thanks to its deep regulatory expertise, user-centric design philosophy, and continuous investment in research and development, Studio Amica stands out as a reliable partner for institutions seeking to modernize their operations and embrace innovation through procurement.
TUTTOGARE.PCP – The Digital Platform for Innovation-Driven Public Procurement
TUTTOGARE.PCP is Studio Amica’s specialized module for managing Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) procedures. Designed to support public administrations in procuring innovation through research and development, the platform provides a fully digital, compliant, and modular environment that facilitates every phase of the PCP process — from market challenge definition to prototype evaluation. Developed in line with EU directives (cf. EU Commission Communication 799/2007), international best practices (cf. European Assistance For Innovation Procurement - EAFIP), TUTTOGARE.PCP enables contracting authorities to launch and manage innovation-oriented procurement in a strategic, secure, and transparent way.
Comprehensive Support for Public Demand
TUTTOGARE.PCP equips public buyers with an end-to-end modular workflow that simplifies planning, publication, and comparative evaluation of R&D solutions. The platform is built to encourage focus on strategic and qualitative objectives, allowing contracting authorities to effectively manage innovation challenges that cannot be met by off-the-shelf solutions. Fully interoperable with national and European digital ecosystems (cf. TED – Tenders Electronic Daily), TUTTOGARE.PCP ensures high standards of accessibility, usability, and regulatory compliance, while also providing flexibility to adapt to a wide range of sectors — including healthcare, energy, mobility, digital infrastructure, education, and environment.
Empowering Suppliers and Research Entities
From the supplier’s side, TUTTOGARE.PCP offers structured tools to participate in PCP calls, guiding companies, research centers, and startups through a user-friendly process that respects the unique features of innovation procurement. The platform emphasizes the protection and management of intellectual property rights (IPR), enabling fair competition and promoting the commercial exploitation of R&D results. It also provides tools to manage confidentiality, multi-phase submissions, and communication between contracting authorities and participants, fostering a collaborative innovation environment while maintaining procedural integrity.
Flexible and Scalable Architecture
Built on a SaaS-based modular architecture, TUTTOGARE.PCP can be rapidly activated and tailored to the specific needs of individual contracting authorities or multi-partner projects. Whether used for a single R&D initiative or a large-scale innovation program, the platform provides the tools necessary to manage complex workflows with ease and full legal certainty.
A success story
TUTTOGARE PA was chosen by Agenzia Regionale Emergenza Urgenza Sardegna (AREUS), the regional agency responsible for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in Sardinia, to manage the pre-commercial procurement HEMS+. The project's objective was to develop innovative solutions to improve the safety and effectiveness of HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service) flights in adverse weather and environmental conditions. HEMS+, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), lasted a total of 36 months with an overall value of over 1.6 million euros. The PCP Module enabled AREUS to manage the three subsequent phases of the tender. Three bids were received in Phase 1 (“Conceptual Solution Development and Feasibility Study”), all participants were admitted to Phase 2 (“Detailed Technical Design and Prototyping”), and two of these progressed to Phase 3 (“Experimentation in a Real Operational Context”). TUTTOGARE PA’s PCP Module represents a cost-effective solution that allows for the optimization of PCP management processes.
