Decided at the selection stage
Requests to participate closed on 16 July 2026; firms that missed that deadline cannot bid in this round.

More on the calendar

The calendar does not say whether its pumps item is the June tender, and its dates forecast internal starts, not publication. The spending behind the pipeline is rising: net investments were €341.5 million in 2025, up from €285.6 million in 2024.
Which calendar items have reached TenderNed, how a €200 million EIB loan and a phased investment plan affect timing, and where suppliers should focus first are set out in the report.
