What is a Call for Expressions of Interest?
A ‘call for expressions of interest’ (CEI) invites economic operators to put themselves forward as candidates in advance of public procurement operations. Eurofound uses the CEI in order to establish shortlists of candidates, which may be used and updated many times for many different procurement procedures over a period of 3 years in total. The CEI is not in itself a public procurement procedure. This takes place at a later stage, when shortlisted candidates are invited to supply a proposal for a specific procurement procedure.
What is the maximum value of contracts to be covered by a CEI?
The maximum value of a specific contract concluded under this CEI may not be higher than €133.000
Shortlisted candidates, if successful during specific procurement procedures launched under the CEI, may be offered several contracts but the value of each of them may not be higher than the previously mentioned €133.000.
What are the fields covered by this CEI?
- Lot 1: Employment growth and demand and supply of labour in a changing labour market
- Lot 2: More and better jobs and higher productivity through partnership

A detailed description of all fields and topics is available in Eurofound's work programme Europe at work: Better life and opportunities for all – Four-year work programme 2009-2012.
