This is an open procurement for a single framework agreement for technical support to the Infrastructure service at JRC Petten in the Netherlands, covering electrical projects, maintenance and inspections of electrical installations, and the supply of materials. The estimated total value is €3,000,000 excluding VAT, the contract duration is 48 months, and award is on the basis of the lowest price.11

What the contract is about

The contracting authority needs external support for electrical works at the JRC Petten site, including project preparation, project leadership, electrical installation maintenance, inspection support, and related material ordering and delivery. The tender documents indicate a broad operational need rather than a single one-off assignment, with multiple profiles expected to be mobilised as needed.1

Who can apply

The opportunity is open to economic operators able to deliver the required electrical technical services and associated material supply. The tender documentation also provides for a joint tender structure and for identified subcontractors, which means bidders may rely on a consortium or subcontracting model where permitted by the tender specifications. The tenderer must satisfy the exclusion and selection requirements set out in the procurement documents and submit the required declarations and evidence in the prescribed form.

Key procedural and commercial terms

Financial and operational conditions applicants should note

The draft framework contract indicates that no prefinancing applies, that payments are made in euros, and that interim and final payments are based on the actual hours worked and the material delivered. Monthly interim payments may be requested, and the contracting authority is to approve the submitted documentation and pay within 30 days, subject to the suspension rules in the contract documents. The pricing model also includes price review by formula linked to the Eurostat HICP index, and the framework agreement is not exclusive, so the contracting authority is not obliged to place orders up to the maximum value.
