Corporate Clarifications to the Instructions to tenderers and Assignment Terms of reference Page 1 of 12

QUESTION 1:

Section 5.3 of the Instructions to Tenderers requests references for sustainability

consultancy work with private entities. However, Section 6 of the Tender Submission Form states that references with redacted information, including client names, will not be considered eligible. In our sector, sustainability advisory work for private clients is typically subject to strict confidentiality agreements that prohibit disclosing client names. Could you please clarify if EIB will accept a reference with the client's name withheld, provided we include all other project details (e.g., project title, client sector and country, scope and deliverables)? CLARIFICATION 1 We confirm that references with the client's names withheld will not be considered eligible.

QUESTION 2:

Could you please clarify the reason for the cancellation of the previous procedure and its subsequent relaunch? CLARIFICATION 2 The previous procurement process was cancelled for administrative reasons.

QUESTION 3:

Could you please confirm whether the administrative documents submitted under the previous, subsequently cancelled procedure may be reused for the present procedure, provided that the information contained therein remains unchanged and valid? Or are tenderers expected to complete, sign and submit a new set of administrative documents for this procedure? CLARIFICATION 3 The tenders received in the frame of the previous procurement procedure were not accessed or opened. This procurement procedure shall be considered independently from the previous one.
