Service Framework Contract for the provision of “Strategic Analysis of the European Defence Technology Industrial Base (EDTIB) ”

The objective of this framework contract is to assist EDA in implementing its Core Task 5, as defined in the EDA’s Long term review 2024.

The EDA’s Core Task 5 consists in consolidating and promoting EU Member States’ Ministries of Defence (MoD) common interest towards EU wider policies, both civilian and defence related. EDA contributes to promoting a shared understanding of the legal, technological, and defence challenges to benefit all Member States, industry and EU bodies and agencies. EDA thus contributes to implement current and future strategies and policies, striving to reflect appropriately MoD’s views.

This contract aims to support a continuous monitoring and awareness of wider policies affecting the EDTIB, in a fast pace evolving security, policy and economic environment. The overarching goal of this framework contract is to help EDA develop and refine tools and instruments that will support the development of the EDTIB. These are multifaceted and can address all policies that touch upon the activities of the defence industry at the national, intergovernmental and supranational levels.
