This publication announces a planned procurement opportunity by the European Commission Representation in Zagreb, Croatia, for temporary staffing services. The focus is on providing personnel to cover staffing shortages due to parental leave and long-term sick leave. This requirement will be met through a two-year framework agreement intended to address immediate staffing needs until a new four-year contract is finalized. The procedure identifier for this procurement is EC-COMM/ZAG/2025/LVP/0269-EXA.

Eligible applicants for this opportunity include staffing agencies and personnel supply service providers. Funding will be in the form of a procurement contract, rather than a traditional grant, and no consortium is required; a single applicant can fulfill the requirements. The geographic eligibility centers on EU member states, particularly those that can provide services within Croatia.

The target sector is categorized under human resources, specifically temporary staffing services, classified under CPV code 79620000. While the opportunity is open to EU-wide participation, it explicitly mentions Croatia as the location for service delivery. The project is in the implementation stage, aimed at immediate operational support, rather than research or development.

Although the estimated funding amount has not been explicitly stated, it is classified as a low to middle value contract and may range based on similar tenders in the area, which can be as much as several million euros. The application process involves at least two stages: an expression of interest followed by a negotiated procedure for selected candidates. Co-funding is not required, and there is no specific information on success rates available.

Interested parties are invited to submit their expressions of interest electronically. The start date for expressions of interest is set for May 21, 2025, with a deadline of June 3, 2025, followed by the expected launch of the negotiated procedure on June 5, 2025. This pre-announcement is not a call for tenders but serves as a notification for those interested in participating in this procurement.
