OPSYS/eProcurement: Pre-Award 2022 - New release in OPSYS impacting Economic OperatorsDear Users,

Please be informed about the recent release OPSYS/eProcurement – Pre-Award 2022 in the Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal (for Economic Operators).

In this case, there is no longer the need for the Contracting Authority to define expertise position(s).

  • The Contracting Authority is no longer obliged to specify Experts and/or Other Costs for requirements on Global Price Requests for Specific Contracts under Framework Contracts SIEA 2018, PSF 2019, and EVA 2020. The Contracting Authority can choose to define the requirements through Other items defined by Contracting Authority, and/or allow the Economic Operator to propose experts and other items not defined by the Contracting Authority for their Financial Offer.
  • New terminology has been introduced for requirements on Global Price Requests for Specific Contracts, effectively replacing Other Costs/Other Details.
  • This new terminology has also been implemented in eSubmission > Tender Data screen for Economic Operators, as well as in the generated Financial Offer.
  • If activated and extending the above, Economic Operators now have the possibility to propose experts and other items not defined by the Contracting Authority in eSubmission > Tender Data for their Financial Offer.
  • The identification of the Authorising Officer is now included in the signature of Award Letters (best tenderer, next-best tenderer, unsuccessful tenderer) sent to Economic Operators.
B. Public Procurements
  • In the case of public procurement, the tenderer can choose any official EU language as the submission language. As a result, the submission receipt and the submission report are generated in the chosen language.

------Chers Utilisateurs,

Veuillez prendre note de la nouvelle release OPSYS / eProcurement – Pre-Award 2022 dans le Portail des Opportunités de Financement et d'Appel d'Offres (pour les Opérateurs Économiques).

Cette nouvelle version inclut une amélioration substantielle des Demandes pour des Contrats Spécifiques en prix forfaitaire. Il est désormais possible pour l’Autorité Contractante de définir une liste de livrables (c.-à-d. une liste de rapports / études), contre lequel les Contractants-Cadres concurrents soumettront leurs offres. Dans ce cas, il n'est plus nécessaire pour l’Autorité Contractante de définir le(s) poste(s) d'expertise.

Veuillez trouver ci-dessous un aperçu des nouvelles fonctionnalités et améliorations de l'eProcurement pour les utilisateurs RELEX.Portail des Opportunités de Financement et d'Appel d'Offres
A. Contrats Spécifiques
  • L'Autorité Contractante n'est plus obligée de spécifier des experts et / ou d'autres frais pour les conditions requises relatives aux Demandes pour des Contrats Spécifiques en prix forfaitaire sous les Contrats-Cadres SIEA 2018, PSF 2019 et EVA 2020. L'Autorité Contractante peut choisir de définir les exigences via d'autres éléments définis par l'Autorité Contractante, et / ou permettre à l'Opérateur Économique de proposer des experts et d'autres éléments non définis par l'Autorité Contractante pour son Offre Financière.
  • Une nouvelle terminologie a été introduite pour les conditions requises relatives aux Demandes pour des Contrats Spécifiques en prix forfaitaire, remplaçant effectivement les Autres frais / Autres détails.
  • Cette nouvelle terminologie introduite a également été implémenté dans l'écran eSubmission > Tender Data pour les Opérateurs Économiques, ainsi que dans l'Offre Financière générée.
  • En cas d'activation et dans le prolongement de ce qui précède, les Opérateurs Économiques ont désormais la possibilité de proposer des experts et d'autres éléments non définis par l’Autorité Contractante dans eSubmission > Tender Data pour leur Offre Financière.
  • L'identification de l'Ordonnateur est désormais incluse dans la signature des Lettres d'Attribution (meilleur soumissionnaire, deuxième meilleur soumissionnaire, soumissionnaire non retenu) envoyées aux Opérateurs Économiques.
B. Marchés Publics
  • Dans le cas d'une démarche public, le soumissionnaire peut choisir n'importe quelle langue officielle de l'UE comme langue de soumission. En conséquence, l’accusé de réception et le rapport de soumission sont générés dans la langue choisie.

webinar - How to participate in a call and manage a Framework Contract in the Funding and Tenders Portal?


In this introductory webinar, an overview of the available features for contractors in the Funding and Tenders Portal will be presented. The webinar will also give you an indication of upcoming functionalities in the portal.  For Requests for Specific Contracts under Framework Contracts, registered and eligible Framework Contractors are invited to participate in a submission of offers. For each request, the shortlisted Framework Contractors manage their invitations, submit their offers and manage their contract directly via the Funding and Tenders portal. All persons who have an active PCoCo or CoCo (Primary Coordinator Contact or Coordinator Contact) role within the organisation receive the notifications and have access to the invitations to participate. You will see demos in the Information System to manage invitations and submissions, electronically sign the contract, submit deliverables and more. You will also receive a package of resources (online documentation, video tutorials etc.) which you can consult after the webinar. 


This is an introductory course for Framework Contractors with or without prior knowledge of OPSYS. The objective of this webinar is to provide a comprehensive overview for newcomers. Advanced practitioners of OPSYS may find it useful to attend the more detailed webinars on Results Reporting, PIC validation etc. Legal and contractual information about Framework Contracts are outside the scope of this session, the webinar will focus exclusively on the technical aspects of OPSYS and share IT-How-to information.
