This platform will be responsible for auctioning allowances related to aviation, maritime transport activities and stationary installations (ETS1 allowances) on behalf of 25 member states and the three EEA-EFTA States. It will also auction allowances for the Innovation Fund, the Modernization Fund, the Greek Decarbonization Fund and the Social Climate Fund.
In addition, the platform will auction allowances for buildings, road transport and additional sectors (ETS2 allowances) on behalf of all 27 member states and the 3 EEA-EFTA States, as well as for the Social Climate Fund.
The procurement will follow a restricted procedure in two stages. In the first stage, interested candidates may submit a request to participate by 15 September 2025. These submissions will be assessed against the published exclusion and selection criteria.
In the second stage, shortlisted candidates will be invited to submit a full tender, including both technical and financial offers.
