Eligible Applicant Types: The information provided does not explicitly state the eligible applicant types. However, given the nature of the contract (preventive and corrective maintenance), it is likely that eligible applicants would include SMEs, large enterprises, or other service providers with expertise in building maintenance, specifically in the area of interior sun protection systems.

Funding Type: The funding type is a service contract, as indicated by the "Nature of the contract: services". This means the selected applicant will be contracted to provide specific services in exchange for payment.

Consortium Requirement: The information does not explicitly state whether a single applicant or a consortium is required. It is possible that either a single applicant or a consortium could be eligible, but this would need to be clarified in the full call for tenders documentation when it is released.

Beneficiary Scope (Geographic Eligibility): The information does not explicitly state the geographic eligibility for applicants. However, given that the contracting authority is the European Commission and the location of the service is Petten, Netherlands, it is highly likely that the geographic eligibility will be at least EU member states, and possibly EEA countries or other countries with agreements with the EU.

Target Sector: The target sector is building maintenance services, specifically preventive and corrective maintenance of interior sun protection systems.

Mentioned Countries: Netherlands (specifically, the location of the service is Petten, Netherlands).

Project Stage: The project stage is operational. The call is for maintenance services, which implies that the infrastructure (the buildings and sun protection systems) are already in place and require upkeep.

Funding Amount: The estimated total value is not specified ("-"). However, the announcement indicates that this will be a "low or middle value procedure," suggesting the contract value will likely be in the range of under €50k to €200k, or possibly up to €1M, but this is speculative.

Application Type: The application type will be a negotiated procedure. This means that after an expression of interest, the contracting authority will invite a select number of candidates to submit a full proposal and negotiate the terms of the contract.

Nature of Support: Beneficiaries will receive money in exchange for providing maintenance services.

Application Stages: The application process will involve at least two stages: an expression of interest, followed by a full proposal submission and negotiation for selected candidates. Therefore, there are at least 2 stages.

Success Rates: The success rates are not specified in the provided information. Success rates for negotiated procedures can vary widely depending on the number of candidates invited to submit a full proposal.

Co-funding Requirement: The information does not explicitly state whether co-funding is required. It is unlikely that co-funding would be required for a service contract of this nature, but this would need to be confirmed in the full call for tenders documentation.
