At the heart of our procurement policy is a commitment to transparency, efficiency, and value for money. We ensure that all works, goods, and services financed by the Bank meet high standards of quality, are delivered on time, and are acquired at competitive prices—typically through open international competition.
- For procurement projects within the European Union and associated countries, we require full compliance with EU public procurement laws, particularly those promoting fair and competitive tendering.
- Outside the European Union, we apply the core principles of EU procurement directives—such as open competition, non-discrimination, fairness, and transparency—adapted as needed to local contexts.
Our goal is to support our partners and promote sound procurement practices that align with both our values and international best standards.
A call for tender at the EIB Group is a competitive process through which the Bank seeks to procure goods, services, or works by inviting qualified suppliers to submit bids, and is governed by EU procurement rules.
The EIB Group offers technical support to help make investment projects stronger and more effective, so they meet EU goals and deliver lasting benefits.
An expression of interest is a request to participate or a formal proposal sent by an applicant in response to a procedure launched by the EIB to identify, evaluate and select eligible candidates with criteria set in the call.
Procurement of works, goods and services required for projects financed in or in part by the EIB, or financed by loans guaranteed by the Bank.
