Procurement

EMA is part of the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) database, an eTendering platform for managing procurement procedures. This platform publishes the procurement documents and manages questions and answers for procurements with a value of €144,000 or more.

Please follow the links to access all procurement documents which are visible and downloadable. Users need to log in to use some options on the eTendering platform, such as 'subscribing' to a procurement to receive notifications including the publication of updated documents and to ask questions related to the procurement.

It is the tenderer's responsibility to check for updates to the procurement documents in eTendering platform during the tendering period.

For tenders in this range, the Agency has to follow a 'negotiated procedure' and consult at least three or five candidates, depending on the value.

EMA does not publish a plan of all tenders in this range for the coming year. It may organise calls at short notice.

Please note that the Agency is unable to offer a mailing-list service or a notification of the launch of individual tenders.

For tenders in this range, the Agency is obliged to publish ex ante advertisements (advance notices) of individual procurements for a minimum of two weeks on this webpage, to allow suppliers to express their interest in the call for tender. Please refer to the table below for ex-ante publication of current tenders in this range.

Suppliers who wish to express their interest in any published call for tender are requested to send the following information to the contact point as stipulated in the relevant ex ante advertisement:

• the company's name and address;
• relevant business area;
• title and reference of the tender of interest.

Calls for expressions of interest are a means of preselecting candidates who may be invited to submit tenders in response to possible future restricted invitations to tender.

Upon examination of the applications, the Agency draws up a list of potential contractors valid for 3 years. Any interested person or company can submit an application at any time during the period of validity of this list, except for the last 3 months.

EMA uses this list for contracts with an estimated value of over €60,000 but below the threshold for the Public Procurement Directive, which is:

• €144,000 for services and supplies contracts;
• €5,548,000 for works contracts.

Where a specific contract is to be awarded, the Agency will send the procurement documents either to all the candidates on the list, or to certain selected candidates who meet the preselection criteria for the contract.

EMA may publish calls for expressions of interest for external experts when it identifies a specific need for expert opinion and advice.

Upon examination of the applications, the Agency draws up a list of potential contractors valid for 5 years. Any interested person can submit an application at any time during the period of validity of a list, except for the last 3 months.

EMA will select expert(s) from the relevant list based on the best match between the scope of the advice and the expert's profile, as and when required.
