What the opportunity is about
The contract concerns mobile telephony subscriptions for the European Commission Representation in Greece. Based on the classification and title, the service is for ongoing mobile telephone connectivity and related subscription services rather than one-off equipment supply or a grant-based project.
What applicants need to know
Eligibility is not described in full in the planned notice, but the opportunity is aimed at economic operators able to provide mobile telephony services in Greece and to respond to a negotiated procurement process once the formal procedure is launched. The notice states that submissions for expression of interest must be made electronically and that an EU Login account is required.
The notice does not yet publish full procurement documents, technical specifications, award criteria, or the identity of the firms that will be invited. Because this is an ExA publication, the market should treat it as an advance notice of the Commission’s intent to start a negotiated procedure in the near future.
Important dates
| Milestone | Date and time |
|---|---|
| Start date for expression of interest | 02/10/2026 Europe/Brussels |
| Deadline for expression of interest | 09/10/2026 20:59 Europe/Athens |
| Indicative launch date of negotiated procedure | 12/10/2026 Europe/Athens |
Practical implications for bidders
- This is a services contract, so the relevant focus is operational capability to supply mobile subscriptions and associated account management or support.
- The framework agreement structure suggests the successful contractor may be used under call-offs during the contract term, without reopening competition.
- Because the opportunity is planned and not yet the formal tender, interested suppliers should monitor the portal closely for the negotiated procedure documents after the indicative launch date.
- The estimated value of €58000 indicates a relatively small procurement in EU terms, which may suit specialised telecom providers with local delivery capacity in Greece.
Assessment for applicants
For suppliers, the key decision point is whether they can demonstrate readiness for a negotiated procurement and provide compliant mobile telephony subscriptions for the Commission’s Representation in Greece. The most relevant commercial factors are likely to be network coverage, service reliability, subscription management, customer support, and pricing over a 48 month framework period. No funding rate applies because this is a procurement contract rather than an EU grant.
