The 'appathon' market consultation by the Dutch ministry of health is a clear example of a fruitful collaboration by a public administration and market parties. Definitely, a success, even though the result that was wanted was not found. Government daring to fail and learn!

Looked to me like a waste of time due to unclear requirements, rushed timeline, and unqualified leadership

If you dont know: - What the requirements should be - Who should lead and with what mandate And there is little time because politicians told you to get it done now, I think this is a great way to learn.

I don’t think a tender/contest is a great approach to figure out requirements. For example, none of the shortlisted options have an answer for how they will work on iOS, so I suspect all of them will fail.

And I think they know now. The process of buying for public administrations is anchored in law. The alternative would have been to procure something based on the requirements that would lack that thing.

A tender is fine-ish, but only works if you have requirements. I just hope they will acknowledge it failed and reset this tender. Unnecessarily wasted energy, but better now than later

This was not a tender, it was a 'market consultation' to decide what the requirements should be.

A market consultation shouldn’t have a production deadline ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
