Call for Expressions of Interest

This opportunity is a Call for Expressions of Interest (CEI) referenced as UCA 22/022, published on the TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) platform. It is initiated by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, with the aim to pre-select candidates capable of providing services. The submission method for this CEI is non-electronic, and it is currently open for submissions until July 21, 2026, at 23:59. Eligible applicants include enterprises such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), large companies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), public authorities, and research institutes. The funding type is a procurement contract for services, indicating that the CEI is not aimed at traditional grants but rather at establishing service provision agreements. Although there are no specific requirements indicated for consortium applications, both individual applicants and consortia may be eligible. The geographical scope likely includes entities from EU member states and possibly EEA countries, given that the call is on the EU platform. The target sector is broad as it is not explicitly defined in the data but is focused on services. No specific countries are mentioned in the details, reaffirming a general EU focus. The project stage pertains to early pre-selection of candidates, with no defined funding amount at this stage. This is typical for such calls, where future contracts may vary in value depending on the specific services procured. The application process consists of at least two stages: an initial submission of interest followed by an invitation to submit a full tender for selected candidates. No success rates for applications are provided, but they may depend on the volume of applications received. There is no co-funding requirement stated, which is usual for procurement contracts. Interested parties should refer to three provided documents essential for the submission process: a Declaration on Honour, a Financial Identification form, and a Legal Entity document. These documents were all released on October 28, 2022, and are available only in English. In summary, this CEI serves as a preliminary opportunity to identify qualified service providers for potential engagement with the European Commission. The emphasis is on establishing a pool of pre-selected candidates for future services rather than awarding specific contracts with predefined budgets at this stage.

Eligible Applicant Types: The opportunity is a Call for Expression of Interest (CEI) for preselection of candidates. While the specific eligible applicant types are not explicitly stated, the nature of a CEI for services suggests that eligible applicants could include a range of entities capable of providing services, such as companies (SMEs, large enterprises), research institutes, consulting firms, and other organizations with relevant expertise. Funding Type: The funding type is procurement, specifically a service contract. The call is for expressions of interest to preselect candidates for providing services. Consortium Requirement: The opportunity does not explicitly state whether a single applicant or a consortium is required. It is likely that both single applicants and consortia could be eligible, depending on the specific requirements of the services being procured. Beneficiary Scope (Geographic Eligibility): The geographic eligibility is not explicitly stated in the provided text. Given that it is published on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, it is highly likely that the opportunity is open to entities from the EU and potentially EEA countries. Further details would be needed to confirm eligibility for other countries. Target Sector: The target sector is not explicitly mentioned, but the contract type is "Services". Therefore, the target sector is broad and depends on the specific services that the European Commission intends to procure through this Call for Expression of Interest. Mentioned Countries: No specific countries are mentioned in the opportunity details. The opportunity is published on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, suggesting a focus on EU member states. Project Stage: The project stage is pre-selection. This CEI aims to identify and pre-select candidates who can then be invited to submit full tenders for specific service contracts. Funding Amount: The estimated total value is N/A (Not Applicable). This indicates that the specific value of future service contracts is not defined at this stage of pre-selection. Application Type: The application type is a Call for Expression of Interest (CEI). The submission method is "Non Electronic" and the call is "Open For Submission". Nature of Support: The beneficiaries will receive money in exchange for services rendered, as this is a service contract. Application Stages: The application process involves at least two stages: 1) submission of an expression of interest for pre-selection, and 2) if pre-selected, a subsequent invitation to submit a full tender for a specific service contract. Therefore, there are at least 2 stages. Success Rates: The success rates are not mentioned in the provided text. The success rate for the initial pre-selection stage would likely depend on the number of applications received and the selection criteria.
