The European Green Deal is the roadmap for making the EU’s economy sustainable. It is a set of policy initiatives with the overarching aim of making Europe climate neutral by 2050. The "Economics of Climate Change, Energy and Transport" Unit (JRC.C.6) of the Joint Research Centre supports the European Commission’s European Green Deal by performing economics-based research in several areas related to energy and climate change. This work includes the development of a reference toolset of economic models and the completion of associated research activities to improve the models' reliability and robustness. The JRC.C.6 Unit is based in Seville, Spain. JRC.C.6 is seeking to strengthen its socio-economic research and modelling capabilities by expanding its coverage of modelling areas and by updating and improving its existing models and toolsets. The unit JRC.C.6 maintains, develops and applies a number of quantitative tools to analyse the impact of different policies on the energy demand and supply sectors, as well as tools for macro-economic modelling. This toolset comprises the EU and global partial equilibrium models POTEnCIA and POLES including their corresponding databases (notably JRC-IDEES), and the global general equilibrium model JRC-GEM-E3. All these tools are able to provide model output in terms of CO2 emissions. The comprehensive modelling of climate change mitigation scenarios requires additional information as regards non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions as well as on emissions and sinks related to land use, land use change and forestry offsets (LULUCF). Besides, climate action can have important co[1]benefits in terms of reduced emissions of air pollutants and of improved air quality. This Framework Contract aims at supporting the operation of the abovementioned set of models by providing the JRC with data, methods and results relevant for the analysis of non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions, emissions of air pollutants (including air quality impacts), and LULUCF offsets.

Tenderers can be natural or legal persons. Tenderers are not obliged to take a specific legal form in order to submit their tenders. Where tenderers submit a tender through an entity which lacks legal personality (e.g., a branch), the compliance with the exclusion criteria, selection criteria, the rules on access to procurement as well as the absence of restrictive measures shall be assessed at the level of the tenderers. Tenderers do not need to prove specific legal and regulatory capacity to perform the contract.
Tenderers must comply with the following selection criteria in order to prove that they have the necessary economic and financial capacity to perform the contract.
The tenderer must prove experience in the field of Modelling of non-CO2 greenhouse gases, air pollutants, and LULUCF offsets.
1 Senior Expert in non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The tenderer must have a team of persons to carry out the tasks described in the Tender Specifications, part 2 technical specifications. The specified individuals are not necessarily to be assigned to the contract; the sole purpose of this selection criterion is to determine whether the tenderer has the capacity to implement the contract.
1 Senior Expert in Air Pollutant Emissions: The tenderer must have a team of persons to carry out the tasks described in the Tender Specifications, part 2 technical specifications. The specified individuals are not necessarily to be assigned to the contract; the sole purpose of this selection criterion is to determine whether the tenderer has the capacity to implement the contract.
1 Senior Expert in LULUCF Emissions and Sinks: The tenderer must have a team of persons to carry out the tasks described in the Tender Specifications, part 2 technical specifications. The specified individuals are not necessarily to be assigned to the contract; the sole purpose of this selection criterion is to determine whether the tenderer has the capacity to implement the contract.

Involved entities and all subcontractors, including those which do not need to be identified in the tender, must not be subject to professional conflicting interests which may negatively affect the contract performance. Where the contracting authority has established such conflicting interests, it may conclude that the tenderer or an involved entity does not possess the required professional capacity to perform the contract to an appropriate quality standard. The presence of conflicting interests shall be examined during the evaluation phase based on the statements made through the Declarations on Honour and, where applicable, the commitment letters (Annex 5.1 and Annex 5.2).
