New call for proposals for public authorities located in the member states of the EU – the eeef TA Facility

The eeef Technical Assistance (TA) Facility is launching a new call for proposals for public authorities in Europe to support them in developing bankable sustainable investment programmes within the energy efficiency sector, small-scale renewable energy, and/or public urban transport. These TA services will facilitate the public authority to reach the required renovation, modernization, and sustainable update of its infrastructure to meet local and national strategic objectives in the energy sector while contributing to the EU climate goals.

Supported services will be provided through consultancy services and include, among other tasks, technical studies (i.e., feasibility studies, energy audits), economic and financial analysis, and the preparation of the tender documents for the implementation of the investment plan through an ESCO/PPP model contract. Also, the Public Authority will be assisted during the evaluation phase of the bidder offers and legal advice will be provided until the signing of the ESCO contract.

Eligible costs for each eeef TA programme should be in accordance with the project’s ambition/ capacity and relevant to the country’s market prices where the project will be implemented.

For this call for proposals, public authorities should submit their project applications by 01 March 2024 at 18:00 pm to technical_assistance@eeef.eu. To develop the proposal, please follow the guidelines and fill out the TA Beneficiaries Standard Application Form established in the “download” section. General conditions for awarding TA support (selection criteria) can be found in the “How to apply as TA beneficiary” section at www.eeef.eu/eeef-ta-facility.html.

The eeef TA Facility team will deeply evaluate your application and provide you with some recommendations if needed. The Fund will move forward with the most ambitious project proposals with a high score and continue with the selection of consultants to perform the project development services for the specific project.

eeef encourages public authorities to join the Fund's TA Programme. The call for proposals is published also on the TED (Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union) at: https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:052808-2024:TEXT:EN:HTML
