Summary:

This is a pre-announcement for a planned call for tenders by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC). The JRC intends to launch a negotiated procedure for a middle/low value contract to purchase a high power charging station along with its operational software. This equipment will be used in the JRC's laboratories for testing and pre-normative research related to the electrification of road transport. The charging station will support activities such as identifying critical operational states of electric vehicles, developing new standards and methodologies, and validating new testing procedures within standardization and UN ECE informal working groups.

The procedure identifier for this planned call is EC-JRC/IPR/2025/MVP/2317-EXA. The nature of the contract is for supplies, and the maximum contract duration is 48 months. There is no framework agreement associated with this procurement.
