OPSYS is developed for the RELEX-family by DG DIGIT.

The ecosystem is open is open to internal staff and to external partners. External partners Partners (referred to as Economic Operators of the European Commission or other EU bodies) access the ecosystem via the Funding & Tender Opportunities Portal (SEDIA). This Portal covers the currently available functionalities and will be integrated into a common corporate solution, which represents the single entry point for all external partners across all DGs.

What can be done in the Portal?

Manage Your Organisation

As an external Economic Operator of the European Commission or other EU bodies, you can manage your organisation details via the Portal once you are registered as a participant.

Management of Contracts for Public Procurement or under Framework Contracts

Participants, Contractors and Experts (i.e. Economic Operators) manage their submissions of offers for Requests for Services under Framework Contracts, or tenders for Public Procurement from the Portal (for eSubmission and eProcurement), which are launched by the European Commission or other EU bodies (i.e. the Contracting Authority).

Once the contract is established between the Economic Operator and the Contracting Authority, the management of the contract and deliverables is also done via the Portal for the Economic Operator.

Invitation and Submission

As of the 24/01/2020, the contracting procedures under Framework Contracts SIEA 2018, AUDIT 2018, PSF 2019, EVA 2020 and EVENTS 2020 are managed in OPSYS.

Shortlisted Framework Contractors receive an invitation to submit a tender proposal via the Funding & Tenders Portal > MyArea account (once logged-in). After acknowledging the invitation, expressing willingness to participate in the tender, creating and submitting a proposal via eSubmission, the Contractors are automatically notified by OPSYS if the proposal submitted has been awarded, reserved or rejected by the Evaluation Committee.

Contract Management

Please consult Framework Contracts pages for all information concerning the management of specific contracts (e.g. award notifications, expert availability, signature of the contract, manage deliverables, amendments, etc.).

Results and Monitoring on Interventions

The Lead Implementing Partner is the Contractor, or the signatory to the contract with the European Commission. Lead Implementing Partners or Contractors are contractually in charge of implementing activities for EC-funded Projects. They have a contractual reporting obligation both on progress made towards the targets and on the financial execution, which is measured as a result of the collection of information via the various sources of verification identified in the formulation phase of the Project. This includes the encoding in the Portal of the latest values available for each indicator of the Logframe that is attached to the Intervention.

The tasks mentioned above are often delegated to an Implementing Partner or Expert, but the Lead Implementing Partner or Contractor remains responsible for the submission of the values to the Operational Manager.
