This opportunity is a future procurement contract issued by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE) focused on developing, operating, and maintaining an IT solution for real-time border crossing information for road cargo vehicles within the EU. The primary aim is to support the EU's principle of the free movement of goods and assist in monitoring border performance, particularly during crisis situations like traffic disruptions.

The estimated value of the contract is €140,000 and it will span a maximum duration of 48 months. The tendering process allows for both individual contractors and consortia of companies to apply, though it may be more suitable for larger organizations, as indicated by the SME suitability status. Applicants are required to demonstrate significant prior experience by having completed at least two similar projects in the past five years, each with a minimum value of €100,000, and at least one project involving fleet management or analytics of vehicle telematics data.

The application process is currently in the pre-tender phase, with expressions of interest opening on August 21, 2025, and closing on September 13, 2025. The actual tender is expected to be launched on September 19, 2025. Interested parties should submit their expression of interest electronically.

Notably, this is not a call for tenders but a prior announcement indicating the contracting authority's intention to initiate a negotiated procurement procedure in the future. The specific geographic eligibility is not cited, but it is implied to be limited to EU-based entities given its alignment with EU internal market goals. The sectors targeted include transport, ICT, and public sector technology, particularly those related to border management and fleet operations.

The format of the procurement will be based on the successful delivery of services rather than grants, with no specified co-funding requirements. This represents an opportunity for technology firms focused on transport systems and digital solutions for government use to engage in significant projects that enhance logistics and crisis management within the EU.
