The framework agreement will be used to procure services in support of EIB Global's (covering EIB's operations outside the EU) intermediated lending operations covering the areas of financial and social inclusion, competitiveness and growth of MSMEs and Mid Caps, digitalisation, green and sustainable finance, including for municipalities and other EIB eligible private and public sector entities.
This lot will be awarded to a single provider. The call-offs will vary in size and complexity in order to address the full spectrum of EIB Global’s objectives and commitments under existing and future mandates. The value of individual call offs for this lot will in most cases range from EUR 250 000 to EUR 1 000 000. Specific contracts below EUR 250 000 may also be awarded under the FWA. Specific contracts above EUR 1 000 000 may also be awarded under the FWA, although the Bank reserves the possibility to procure such assignments through a published procedure.
The aim of this single framework agreement 'FWA' is to support the EIB Global to provide advisory services to financial institutions in the areas of innovation/digitalisation, responsible MSME and MidCap finance, climate action and sustainable finance.
Services will be provided to support financial institutions (FIs), including banks, non-bank financial institutions, and national promotional institutions, that are partners or potential partners of the EIB in financing micro, small and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) and municipalities. On the one hand, the services will support the preparation and implementation of EIB's operations in the inclusive financial sector, such as multi beneficiary intermediated loans (MBIL's) and other financial instruments, including but not limited to partial portfolio guarantees (PPG). On the other hand, the services will promote responsible financial inclusion across the regions of operation. To that end, services will seek to build the capacity of both FIs, MSMEs/Mid-caps, and municipalities to improve their financial, social and environmental performance as well as support the development of the wider inclusive finance ecosystem.
