Overview
The procurement opportunity is categorized under the main CPV code for nuclear safety services. This is a service contract rather than a grant, and it is structured as a restricted procedure, which implies at least two stages involving an initial request to participate followed by a full proposal submission for those selected. The award will be evaluated based on a quality-price ratio, with an emphasis of 80% on quality and 20% on price competitiveness.
The call for tenders explicitly indicates that it is not suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), thereby targeting larger organizations, specialized firms, and entities with substantial expertise in nuclear safety and radioactive waste management. Applicants can submit proposals as sole candidates or as part of a consortium. A Personal Identification Code (PIC) is mandatory for participation, which can be obtained during the application process.
This initiative builds on previous interventions in the region, particularly in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and aims to establish best practices for radioactive waste storage and management. The success rates for such specialized tenders are not provided, but challenges are expected due to the specific expertise required. Overall, the opportunity represents a significant investment in enhancing nuclear safety and waste management practices in the Western Balkans, aligning with EU standards and ongoing efforts for regional development. Submissions must be made electronically, and the deadline for requests to participate is November 10, 2025.
