Key procurement facts (structured)

Detailed classification and eligibility

The procurement is a single lot (PAR-0001) public tender for services. The contract will be awarded following the procedure type listed in the portal (procedure type code present), with electronic submission required. The procurement is framed within EU-funded procurement channels and uses the Funding & Tenders Portal eSubmission tool.

Eligible Applicant Types:Eligible applicants are organisations or natural persons capable of delivering specialised occupational health and safety consultancy and producing DVR documentation. Typical eligible applicant types include specialised consultancy firms, occupational health and safety (OHS) consultancies, certified safety professionals, engineering consultancies with OHS competencies, large enterprises, research institutes or other organisations providing professional safety assessment services, and independent certified consultants. Although SMEs may technically bid, the tender indicates smeSuitableIndicator=false, meaning the procedure is not targeted specifically at small or micro enterprises and the contracting authority does not consider the contract especially suited to SMEs.

Funding Type:Public procurement contract (service contract). This is not a grant, loan or equity instrument. The financial mechanism is procurement of services with a fixed estimated total contract amount (€50,000).

Consortium Requirement:The tender text does not mandate a consortium; a single tenderer (company or individual consultant) may submit an offer. Consortium or joint-venture participation may be possible if allowed by procurement rules and if capacity or qualification requirements make it necessary, but the procurement appears structured as a single-lot contract and does not explicitly require multiple partners.

Beneficiary Scope (Geographic Eligibility):This is an EU public procurement led by the European Commission (JRC). While the contracting authority is the European Commission and the work location is in Italy (JRC Ispra site), the portal generally allows bidders from across the EU/EEA and other countries permitted under the EU procurement rules. There is no explicit country list in the scraped content; the site of performance is Italy (JRC Ispra).

Target Sector:Occupational health and safety, workplace safety, risk assessment and compliance services. Relevant sectors: health and safety, buildings and facilities management, industrial safety consultancy, public sector safety compliance.

Footnotes

1. 1Official tender notice on the Funding & Tenders Portal: ec.europa.eu

This is a tender for specialised occupational health and safety consultancy services covering the assessment of workplace risks and the preparation, update, and maintenance of Documento di Valutazione dei Rischi, or DVR, documents for buildings, workplaces, and activities at the JRC Ispra site. The scope is compliance focused and sits within the legal obligation to document and periodically review occupational risk assessments under Italian and EU safety rules [2][11][12].

What the opportunity is about

The contract appears to require support for multiple facilities and activity types, including on site inspection, hazard identification, risk evaluation, drafting of DVR documentation, and updates whenever workplace conditions change. In Italian occupational safety practice, the DVR is the formal document that records the assessment of all health and safety risks, the prevention and protection measures adopted, the improvement programme, and the procedures and responsibilities for implementation [2][13].

Who can apply

The most suitable bidders are specialist occupational health and safety consultancies, engineering firms, and multidisciplinary technical service providers with demonstrable experience in workplace risk assessment and DVR preparation under Italian law. Because the site is in Italy and the deliverable is a DVR, bidders should be able to work to D.Lgs. 81/2008 and to provide technically robust documentation for complex workplaces [2][10][11].

Key compliance points

• The DVR must evaluate all workplace risks and state the criteria used for the assessment [2][13].
• It must indicate the prevention and protection measures already in place and the programme for further improvement [2][13].
• It must identify the procedures for implementing measures and the organisational roles responsible for them [2][13].
• EU guidance treats risk assessment as a systematic examination of work to identify hazards, determine whether they can be eliminated, and define protective measures [12][19].
• Risk assessments should be reviewed regularly and whenever workplace conditions, equipment, chemicals, or work processes change [11][22].

Practical interpretation for bidders

From the title and scope, the tender likely requires a contractor that can combine field inspections, risk mapping, document drafting, updates after operational changes, and ongoing maintenance of safety documentation across a complex site. The strongest bids would normally be backed by demonstrable experience in occupational safety consultancy, knowledge of Italian legal requirements, and the capacity to manage multiple facilities and activity types in a structured way [2][11][22].
