Procurement
The procurement regime applicable to the project depends on the promoter that is implementing different parts of the project. The main promoter, Rotterdam Shore Power BV, has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not being subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if at the project appraisal, the EIB were to conclude that the promoter is subject to the EU public procurement legislation then the Bank would require the promoter to apply those rules. The second promoter is Havenbedrijf Rotterdam N.V. (the Port of Rotterdam). The Bank will require this promoter to ensure that contracts for implementation of the project have been tendered in accordance with the applicable EU procurement legislation, Directive 2014/25/EU as well as Directive 92/13/EEC as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
