Fourniture soit régulière, soit ponctuelle de décorations florales et services associés
Overview
The European Commission's Office for Infrastructure and Logistics in Brussels is announcing a future procurement opportunity labeled as a negotiated procedure for the supply of floral decorations and associated services. The procedure identifier is EC-OIB/2025/MVP/0122-EXA. The project will focus on both regular and occasional provisions, translating from French as "Fourniture soit régulière, soit ponctuelle de décorations florales et services associés."
This procurement is classified under the CPV code 03121210, which relates to flowering and ornamental plants, seeds, and related products. The maximum contract duration will be 48 months, and it will be structured as a framework agreement, indicating no reopening of competition after initial bidding. There is no specified total value for this contract at this stage.
Eligibility for application extends to suppliers of floral arrangements and related services, which may include small and medium enterprises, larger corporations, and individual traders. However, the data indicates that participation may not be particularly favorable for SMEs, as suggested by a "smeSuitableIndicator" marked as false.
Interested parties can express their interest electronically starting from November 20, 2025, with a deadline set for December 5, 2025, at 23:59. The tentative date for the launch of the negotiated procedure is December 8, 2025. Since this is not a traditional grant but rather a procurement contract, successful suppliers will be compensated for the goods and services they provide.
The contracting authority will allow questions and clarifications until the submission deadline, facilitating potential bidders in preparing their proposals. This announcement serves to inform suppliers about the forthcoming opportunity, emphasizing the need for a structured response to participate in the upcoming procurement process.

Breakdown
Eligible Applicant Types: The opportunity does not explicitly state the eligible applicant types. However, given the nature of the contract (supplies of floral arrangements and associated services) and the fact that it is a low or middle value procedure, it is likely that eligible applicants could include SMEs, and possibly larger enterprises, that are active in the relevant sector.
Funding Type: This is a planned call for tenders, specifically a "planned negotiated procedure for middle/low value contract," indicating that the funding type is procurement. The contracting authority intends to purchase services or supplies.
Consortium Requirement: The opportunity does not specify whether a single applicant or a consortium is required. It is possible that both single applicants and consortia could be eligible, but this would need to be confirmed in the actual call for tenders when it is published.
Beneficiary Scope (Geographic Eligibility): The opportunity does not explicitly state geographic eligibility. However, since the lead contracting authority is the European Commission, OIB (Office for Infrastructure and Logistics in Brussels), it is highly likely that the geographic eligibility will be focused on the EU, and potentially the EEA.
Target Sector: The target sector is clearly defined as related to floral arrangements and associated services. The CPV code provided (03121210) confirms this, as it refers to "Floral arrangements."
Mentioned Countries: No specific countries are mentioned. The location of the lead contracting authority, Brussels, suggests that the services are likely to be required in Brussels, Belgium. The European Commission is the lead contracting authority.
Project Stage: This opportunity is for the provision of services, specifically the supply of floral arrangements. Therefore, the relevant project stage is commercialization or service provision.
Funding Amount: The opportunity is described as a "planned negotiated procedure for middle/low value contract." This suggests that the funding amount is likely to be in the range of under €50k to €200k, or possibly up to €1M, but without more information, it is difficult to provide a more precise estimate.
Application Type: The application type is a "planned negotiated procedure." This means that the contracting authority will likely invite a select number of potential suppliers to submit proposals, rather than an open call where anyone can apply. The first step is to express interest electronically.
Nature of Support: The nature of support is monetary, in exchange for the provision of supplies (floral arrangements) and associated services.
Application Stages: Based on the information provided, there appear to be at least two stages: 1) Expression of interest, and 2) Participation in the negotiated procedure (if selected after expressing interest).
Success Rates: Since this is a planned negotiated procedure, the success rates are difficult to estimate. Success rates will depend on the number of suppliers invited to participate in the negotiated procedure and the quality of their proposals.
Co-funding Requirement: The opportunity does not mention any co-funding requirement. It is likely that no co-funding is required, as this is a procurement contract where the contracting authority pays for the services provided.
