Assessment of the Health Benefit Impact of Noise Related Measures

Item Description:

The European Commission is an institution of the European Union, responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding the EU treaties and managing the day-to-day business of the EU.

The European Commission, Directorate General Environment, (referred to below as the contracting authority) is planning to award the contract(s) resulting from the above procurement procedure. The procurement documents consist of the contract notice, the invitation letter, the draft contract(s) and tender specifications with their respective annexes. All documents are enclosed in the ZIP File below.

This study will explore possible measures which could contribute to further noise reduction and produce health benefits for EU citizens. It will inform possible future development of the EU noise policy, by:(a) identifying measures that could better achieve a noise reduction; and(b) making an assessment of recent commission’s actions to engage with stakeholders on possible further noise reduction measures and if appropriate propose amendments to existing legislation related to noise in transport. The noise expert group gave insights on options for noise reduction measures, which would be, amongst others, assessed in this study, together with action plans already developed by Member States at local and national level.

This invitation to tender is in no way binding on the contracting authority. The contracting authority’s contractual obligation commences only when the contract with the successful tenderer is signed by both parties.

Up to the signature of the contract the contracting authority may cancel the procurement procedure without tenderers being entitled to claim any compensation. Any such decision must be substantiated and tenderers notified.

The validity period of the tender, during which tenderers may not modify the terms of their tenders in any respect, is indicated under Heading IV.2.6 of the contract notice.

Submission of a tender implies acceptance of all the terms and conditions set out in the procurement documents and, where appropriate, waiver of the tenderer’s own general or specific terms and conditions. The submitted tender is binding on the tenderer to whom the contract is awarded for the duration of the contract.
