Download the components of this call for tenders:

Tenders, which should include a completed and signed Information Form and all the information specifically requested in the call for tenders, should be sent to EFRAG at call.for.tender@EFRAG.ORG no later than 31 October 2024 by the end of the business day.

  1. The objective of the contract is for the provider to assist EFRAG in building a unique, comprehensive, interactive and modern electronic web data base system (the platform or ‘hub’), comprising all the materials necessary to discover, understand, implement and work on ESRS, to facilitate the implementation work of preparers and the work of analysts and other users (set up phase). This phase requires the provider to include their proposal for both the technological aspect of the tool to be delivered and, as initial content, the inclusion of all ESRS materials until a set date (tentatively 30 September 2025). These materials would include the ESRS themselves, implementation guidance (IG), Q&A Platform Explanations, XBRL Taxonomies related to the ESRS, interoperability guidance, etc.
  2. In addition, the provider must indicate, as an option, the proposed terms and conditions for the maintenance (maintenance phase) of the platform, both from a technical perspective and from a content perspective (further developed, and new documents should be added after the set up phase since the platform will have to be constantly enhanced and updated). The provider should also indicate the scalability of the tool supporting the increase of documents and the growth of users.
  3. The European Commission has been empowered to offer a grant to EFRAG so that it can improve its due process in the preparation of ESRS. This contract is procured in this context. The award is subject to EFRAG receiving final notification of the grant.
