2.1 Procedure

Title : Expert assessments for on-site inspections and internal model investigations for the Single Supervisory Mechanism
Description : The ECB is the leading authority in the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) with its participating EU Member States for those tasks relating to prudential supervision that have been conferred upon it by the Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 (hereby referred to as the ?SSM Regulation?). In accordance with article 12 of the SSM Regulation, the ECB may conduct all necessary on-site inspections in order to carry out the tasks conferred upon it by the SSM Regulation. In accordance with Article 144 of the Regulation (EU) No 468/2014 (hereby referred to as the ?SSM Framework Regulation?), the ECB shall be in charge of the establishment and the composition of on-site inspection teams with involvement of the National Competent Authorities (hereby referred to as the ?NCAs?). The ECB intends to select highly qualified service providers with experience on relevant projects for banking supervision. The services will be provided in English and potentially one or more of the other EU official and working languages. Successful Contractors are required to engage professionals with significant experience in the evaluation of Bank?s risks, Banks? compliance with the Regulatory Requirements, assets, horizontal activities associated with OSIs and IMIs, and with advanced English skills. The ECB may request services related to direct support of On-site Inspections and Internal Model Investigations (Lots 1 ? 11), as well as horizontal support related to these activities (Lot 12). Lots 1 ? 11 all concern services of direct support to On-Site Inspections and Internal Model Investigations1 (collectively referred to as ?Missions?), each Lot covering a different type of Missions. Under each of these Lots, the Contractor(s) shall execute independent tasks in connection with the ECB?s carrying out of On-Site Inspections (hereby referred to as ?OSIs?) and Internal Model Investigations (hereby referred to as ?IMIs?). The Contractor(s) shall execute independent assessments and provide additional perspectives based on their relevant expertise in specified areas that could be included in assessing the Banks? risks and/or reviewing Banks? compliance with the Regulatory Requirements. The types of Missions covered by the different Lots 1 ? 11 are determined by the primary risk type of the Mission. Important information: Additional buyer coverage: All framework agreements will be open to current and future members of the European Procurement Coordination Office (EPCO). Contracts: The ECB will sign the framework agreements resulting from this tender procedure on its own behalf and on behalf and for the benefit of Participating Institutions, i.e. the members of the Eurosystem Procurement Coordination Office (EPCO). All framework agreements shall have an initial duration of 36 months automatically extended for an additional period of 12 months unless the ECB explicitly decides not to extend them. Following the outcome of this tender procedure, specific contracts (Orders) for Lots 1 to 11 will as a rule, be awarded based on the ranking of the Contractors. For Lot 12, Orders will as a rule be awarded following a mini competition. By exception to the rule, orders concerning services to be provided for Lots 1 to 11, to specific Participating Institutions other than the ECB, which will be identified in the ITT, shall be awarded based on mini competitions. Place of Performance: The tasks will be performed in connection with carrying out of OSIs and IMIs at the Banks? premises (OSIs and IMIs are conducted primarily within the European Economic Area, but can also take place in other locations worldwide), at the ECB premises in Frankfurt am Main, at the Participating Institutions? premises and/or remotely. The indicated maximum value refers to the aggregate value for all contracts and lots.
