EFSA publishes a prior-information notice (PIN) to indicate to economic operators that we are planning to launch a call for tenders in the future. A PIN is not published for every EFSA call; it is for information purposes only and is not binding on EFSA. It is a means to increase transparency in our planning of forthcoming calls and to enable potential suppliers and service providers to prepare in advance to tender for upcoming contracts. EFSA may also use the PIN to ask economic operators to express an interest in participating in ex-ante market research and analysis.
Items in the below list are updated regularly. However, it is possible that a PIN is still displayed whilst the call for tender is already published. For this reason, we recommend you to always consult the section Calls for tenders €143+, where you will find all the calls open for offers.
