After each phase, intermediate evaluations will be carried out to progressively select the best of the competing solutions. The contractors with the best-value-for-money solutions will be offered a specific contract for the next phase.
Testing is expected to take place at a minimum in the countries of the buyer’s group i.e. France, Finland and Estonia. It is possible that testing locations may also be in a stakeholder country. The procurement is estimated to commence in October 2022 and end in November 2024.
