EBA Negotiated Procurement Procedure Summary

Core Content

The European Banking Authority (EBA) is a specialized agency of the European Union established by Regulation (EC) No. 1093/2010 on 24 November 2010. It operates as part of the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS) and is based in London. With 169 staff from 27 EU Member States, the EBA plays a crucial role in ensuring consistent and effective prudential regulation and supervision across the EU banking sector. Its primary objective is to maintain financial stability and promote a harmonized regulatory framework known as the European Single Rulebook.

Following the UK's formal notification of its intention to leave the EU and the European Council's decision on 20 November 2017, the EBA is planning to relocate its headquarters to Paris, France, before 29 March 2019. As part of this relocation, the EBA is seeking legal services to assist in the lease agreement process for its new offices, which will have a net internal area of approximately 4,500–5,000 square meters.

Main Objective of the Contract

The main objective of the contract is to sign a lease agreement for the new offices in Paris that meets the EBA's requirements and ensures a timely relocation. The legal advisors will provide comprehensive support throughout the project, starting immediately after the contract is signed, with an indicative date of the end of March 2018 for the contract signature.

Scope of Work

The legal advisors will be responsible for the following tasks:

• Review and provide advice on the legal environment in Paris
• Evaluate heads of agreement and draft lease agreements
• Offer legal opinions and guidance on the rights and obligations of the parties involved
• Provide legal advice on all aspects of the lease throughout the project
• Recommend improvements and propose mark-ups to the lease documents
• Offer all necessary legal assistance during lease negotiations
• Interact with relevant authorities on behalf of the EBA
• Represent the EBA before the landlord and other stakeholders
• Ensure the EBA's interests, rights, and obligations are fully protected
• Finalize and secure legal endorsement of the lease agreement

The legal advisors will work from their own premises but may also need to attend EBA premises in London and the new location in Paris. They will collaborate closely with the EBA's property advisors, who will be selected to provide guidance on the Paris office market and suitable space.

Negotiated Procurement Procedure

EBA has initiated a negotiated procurement procedure to select legal advisors for the lease agreement. The process involves:

• Sending procurement documents to selected candidates
• Inviting them to submit a tender
• Only candidates invited by the EBA are eligible to participate
