Obstaranie nového služobného vozidla pre dopravu, mobilitu zamestnancov a logistickú podporu

This document outlines a prospective procurement opportunity by the European Commission for a new plug-in hybrid vehicle designated for official transport, employee mobility, and logistics. The existing vehicle has reached the end of its operational life, necessitating this procurement.

The title of the procurement opportunity in Slovak is "Obstaranie nového služobného vozidla pre dopravu, mobilitu zamestnancov a logistickú podporu," which translates to "Procurement of a new official vehicle for transport, employee mobility and logistics support." The principal objective is to acquire a vehicle that meets specific sustainability criteria as part of the procurement process.

The classification for this procurement falls under the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes related to motor vehicles, specifically 34115200, 34110000, and 34100000. The contract type is classified as Supplies, and the procedure is based on the identifier "EC-COMM/BTS/2026/LVP/0007-EXA," indicating it is a low-value procurement.

The timeline includes a registration deadline for expression of interest on January 16, 2026, with a planned date for the procurement procedure on January 21, 2026. The lead authority is the European Commission's Directorate-General for Communication (DG COMM), and submissions must be made electronically.

This procurement opportunity is likely not tailored for small or medium enterprises (SMEs), as noted by the "smeSuitableIndicator" marked as false. The procurement is predominantly aimed at larger suppliers who can fulfill the contract specifications.

The project targets the transport sector, emphasizing environmentally sustainable solutions through the requirement for a plug-in hybrid vehicle. While the funding amount is not specified, similar contracts can typically range between €50,000 and €200,000, depending on vehicle specifications.

Participation involves two stages: an initial expression of interest followed by an invitation-only stage for tender submission. There is no requirement for co-funding as the procurement will be fully funded by the European Commission, indicating a straightforward supplies contract where financial support is provided in exchange for the delivery of the vehicle.

In summary, this is a future procurement procedure by the European Commission for a single plug-in hybrid vehicle, with an expression of interest starting December 22, 2025, and a deadline on January 17, 2026.
