Overview
The European Commission has announced a procurement opportunity for the purchase of two official vehicles for its representations in Rome and Milan. This tender is identified by the procedure number EC-COMM/ROM/2025/MVP/0252-EXA and is characterized as a planned negotiated procedure for a middle or low value contract. The relevant classification for the vehicles is under CPV code 34144700, which pertains to utility vehicles.
Eligible applicants include suppliers or contractors with the capability to deliver suitable vehicles, particularly those specializing in the transport of goods. While the opportunity is open to businesses, it appears to favor established suppliers, as indicated by the "smeSuitableIndicator" being marked as false.
The funding type is a procurement contract rather than a grant, with the European Commission providing payment upon delivery of the vehicles. There is no requirement for a consortium, and typically a single applicant suffices for this type of procurement. Geographic eligibility aligns with EU procurement rules, suggesting that suppliers can come from EU member states, but the delivery locations are specifically in Italy.
The project stage is classified as commercialization/implementation as the procurement seeks ready-to-deliver vehicles rather than goods requiring development or research. The estimated contract duration is a maximum of 36 months.
While the funding amount isn't specified, it is classified as a middle/low value contract, likely amounting to less than €200,000 total for the two vehicles. Interested applicants must submit their expression of interest electronically via the EU's Funding and Tenders Portal, with the call for expressions beginning on May 27, 2025, and closing on June 12, 2025, at 04:59 Rome time. The indicative date for launching the negotiated procedure is set for June 16, 2025.
Overall, this tender aims to procure utility vehicles that comply with specific technical and functional requirements, with emphasis on open participation for suppliers operating within the EU.
