It is a direct follow-up of the Commission Recommendation (EU) 2024/779 on Secure and Resilient Submarine Cable Infrastructures and the implementation of the 2025 EU Action Plan on Cable Security. The reason for purchasing is the high level of specialisation required, especially as regards the economic and technological aspects of submarine cable infrastructures, as well as the necessity to swiftly deliver on this important topic relying on limited internal resources. ## CPV classification Research and development services and related consultancy services Source Tenders Electronic Daily (EU) · Notice 497012-2026 [View official notice](https://ted.europa.eu/en/notice/497012-2026) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
