Framework contract - Implementation of the European Radioisotope Valley Initiative (ERVI)

Tender description

As part of the SAMIRA action plan, the Commission carried out exploratory work on ERVI in 2022-2025. This work included a feasibility study, a stakeholder consultation, inputs from the ERVI Steering Group and Stakeholder Forum, and several expert workshops. This work has been formally supported by Member States and the civil society. Furthermore, the REPowerEU Roadmap adopted by the Commission last May directed ERVI to strengthen EU production capacities, improve the resilience of the supply chain and reduce dependency on foreign suppliers, in particular Russia, focusing on production of metallic HALEU and stable isotopes. In order to advance the implementation of ERVI, the Commission, Member States and stakeholders should pursue mid-term and long-term actions grouped in five pillars: • Investment in innovative production facilities • Research and innovation • Market monitoring and forecasting • Strategic international partnerships • Evolution of the regulatory framework. Furthermore, the Commission will build a coordination mechanism to ensure coherence between these pillars as they advance over time. The objective of this contract will be to ensure technical, scientific, administrative and logistical support to DG ENER for the implementation of the ERVI activities.
