Servizi pediatrici

This document details a procurement opportunity for pediatric services from the European Commission's Directorate-General for Human Resources and Security. The contracting authority seeks qualified healthcare providers to deliver pediatric preventive care at European Commission nursery facilities for a contract lasting 48 months. The role of the pediatrician will focus on preventive medicine, ensuring children are fit to attend nursery, monitoring their developmental progress, managing contagious diseases, and establishing safety and hygiene standards in collaboration with other relevant services.

The tender, identified by the reference number EC-HR/IPR/2025/LVP/0383-EXA, is specifically targeting established healthcare organizations rather than small and medium enterprises, as indicated by the non-SME suitability marker. Eligible candidates must be capable of providing comprehensive pediatric services, with the application being an open electronic submission process. The registration deadline for expressing interest is August 29, 2025, and the call for tender publication date is August 8, 2025.

The opportunity aligns with the healthcare sector, as denoted by the CPV code 85100000, which pertains to health and social work services. While the specific funding amount for the contract has not been disclosed, it is framed as a middle/low value procurement. No geographical restrictions have been explicitly stated, suggesting that the opportunity is open to EU-based providers, with indications pointing towards operational requirements likely within Italy, given the document’s language and time zone.

The nature of support entails monetary compensation for the services rendered rather than grants or co-funding, as this is a service procurement contract. The application procedure may involve multiple stages, beginning with the expression of interest and possibly followed by negotiations with selected candidates. There are no specified success rates, as these can vary based on competition levels.

This announcement serves as a prelude to the actual tender, informing potential applicants of the forthcoming opportunity to provide crucial pediatric services necessary for the support of the European Commission's childcare facilities.

Eligible Applicant Types: This opportunity is for service providers, specifically pediatricians. The contracting authority is looking for a pediatrician to provide services to a nursery. Therefore, eligible applicants would likely be individual pediatricians or medical practices employing pediatricians.

Funding Type: This is a procurement opportunity, specifically a planned negotiated procedure for a middle/low value contract. The nature of the contract is for services.

Consortium Requirement: The information suggests a single applicant is required, as they are seeking a pediatrician to provide services. While a medical practice could apply, it would likely be considered a single entity for the purposes of this procurement.

Beneficiary Scope (Geographic Eligibility): While not explicitly stated, given that the contracting authority is the European Commission, DG HR - Human Resources and Security, it is highly likely that the geographic eligibility is within the European Union. The location of the nursery requiring the pediatrician services would further define the geographic scope, potentially limiting it to a specific region or country within the EU.

Target Sector: This program targets the health sector, specifically pediatric healthcare services. It falls under the broader category of health services, as indicated by the CPV code 85100000.

Mentioned Countries: No specific countries are mentioned, but the opportunity originates from the European Commission, implying that it is likely targeted at EU member states. The procedure milestones are given in "Europe/Brussels" and "Europe/Rome" time, which might indicate Belgium and Italy.

Project Stage: This opportunity is for the provision of ongoing services, not a project in a specific stage of development. The pediatrician will be responsible for preventative medicine, ensuring children are fit to attend the nursery, monitoring their development, and managing contagious diseases. This is an operational service.

Funding Amount: The opportunity is described as a "planned negotiated procedure for middle/low value contract." While the estimated total value is not explicitly stated, this suggests the funding amount is likely in the range of under €200k, possibly even under €50k, but this is speculative based on the "middle/low value" descriptor.

Application Type: The application type is a planned negotiated procedure. This means that the contracting authority will likely select a limited number of candidates to invite to submit a full proposal. The first step is to express interest electronically.

Nature of Support: The beneficiaries will receive money in exchange for services. The pediatrician or medical practice will be paid for providing pediatric services to the nursery.

Application Stages: The application process appears to involve at least two stages: 1) expressing interest electronically, and 2) a subsequent negotiated procedure for those selected after the expression of interest.

Success Rates: Since this is a planned negotiated procedure, the success rates are difficult to estimate. Negotiated procedures typically involve a smaller pool of pre-selected candidates, which could imply a higher success rate for those invited to the negotiation stage, but a lower overall success rate considering the initial expression of interest. It is likely in the 10 to 39% range.

Co-funding Requirement: There is no mention of a co-funding requirement. It is likely that the contracting authority will fully fund the services provided.
