Ex-ante publicity of middle- and low-value contracts

The European Commission, Directorate-General for Budget intends to launch a mid-value procurement procedure to establish a contract related to producing a second party opinion on EU’s green bond framework.

The maximum amount for this contract is EUR 50 000.00.

The indicative time schedule for launching the negotiated procedure is 18-19 February 2021.

Interested economic operators can express their interest to participate in this negotiated procedure until 16 February 2021 in writing to BUDG-MAILBOX-U02ec [dot] europa [dot] eu (BUDG-MAILBOX-U02[at]ec[dot]europa[dot]eu). The e-mail should include:

1. official name of the economic operator
2. official address
3. valid e-mail address

Simplified rules apply to procurement procedures valued between EUR 15 000.01 and EUR 138 999.99. In such cases, the European Commission can invite a limited number of candidates to tender. To make this process more transparent plans for future middle-and low-value contracts are published here. This publicity is in no way binding for the European Commission. The Commission's contractual obligation commences only upon signature of the contract with the successful candidate.

Particulars or economic operators who will have expressed interest to participate will be stored in a database for the purpose of tendering only. Inclusion of those economic operators' contact details does not automatically lead to invitations to tender. This overview is for information only.
