Overview
This opportunity is a call for tenders issued by the European Commission, specifically the Directorate General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA), aimed at securing technical assistance services to coordinate two significant actions in West Africa. The project concentrates on improving migration management and stimulating socio-economic development through a green economy approach. The expected duration of the contract is up to 60 months, with a total estimated funding amount of €1,660,000.
Eligible applicants for this tender include both natural and legal persons capable of providing technical assistance services. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are deemed unsuitable, larger organizations, consultancies, and partnerships are encouraged to apply. The tender's scope is geographically defined, principally targeting entities located in EU member states and those operating within the West African region.
The project's primary objective is the provision of technical assistance concerning two interrelated areas. The first action focuses on enhancing migration management systems that prioritize the rights of returning migrants. The second action aims to empower youth by promoting employment opportunities and financial inclusion within green economy sectors, thereby addressing the motivations behind migration.
The tender is structured as a procurement contract. Applicants will be evaluated based on their quality of service provision (weighted at 80%) and cost (20%). Although applications are anticipated to be submitted electronically in a single stage, the evaluation process may still involve multiple assessments based on the set criteria.
The deadline for submission of requests to participate is June 10, 2025, and all proposals must be submitted electronically. The project aligns with broader EU external action objectives aimed at fostering sustainable development and effective migration management in partnership with countries in West Africa.
