Luxembourg - September 19, 2025:
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has awarded a €28 million framework agreement for the supply of office furniture to Tertia Solutions Sàrl and Burotrend S.A., two Luxembourg-based companies. The contract, published in the Official Journal of the European Union (Notice No. 613528-2025), will provide modern office furnishings for EIB’s headquarters in Luxembourg and its offices abroad over the next four years.
Contract Overview
The tender, identified as CFT-1765, covers the supply, delivery, and installation of office furniture to support the EIB’s evolving workspace needs. The framework agreement, valued at up to €28 million (excluding VAT), was signed on July 18, 2025, following an open procurement procedure conducted under Directive 2014/24/EU.
The framework is designed with the possibility of reopening competition among the selected suppliers for specific orders during its four-year term. In total, eight tenders were received, demonstrating strong competition in Luxembourg’s premium office furniture market.
Winning Suppliers: Tertia Solutions and Burotrend
The EIB selected Tertia Solutions Sàrl, headquartered in Livange, and Burotrend S.A., based in Contern, as the successful bidders. Both companies are Luxembourg SMEs recognized for their expertise in corporate workspace design, ergonomic furniture, and sustainable interior solutions.
-
Tertia Solutions Sàrl (B209239) – Specializes in high-quality office fit-out projects and turnkey furnishing services for corporate clients across Luxembourg.
-
Burotrend S.A. (B21883) – A leading supplier and distributor of office furniture, representing top European brands known for innovation and comfort in workspace design.
The partnership reflects EIB’s strategy of engaging local suppliers to enhance operational efficiency while supporting Luxembourg’s business ecosystem.
Procurement Details and Evaluation Criteria
According to the award notice, proposals were evaluated based on 70% quality and 30% price, emphasizing the importance of design, functionality, durability, and environmental standards.
The contract also reflects EIB’s sustainability priorities, requiring suppliers to comply with environmental and ergonomic standards consistent with EU institutional guidelines. While the framework is not financed by EU funds, it is not covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) due to EIB’s institutional status as an EU body.
Scope and Duration
The 48-month framework agreement covers the EIB’s Luxembourg headquarters and extends to its offices located outside Luxembourg, supporting ongoing modernization and workspace optimization initiatives. The furniture will serve EIB’s growing need for flexible, sustainable, and collaborative work environments, in line with post-pandemic office redesign trends across Europe.
Institutional Oversight and Review
As with all EIB procurement procedures, transparency and fairness are guaranteed under EU procurement law. Any potential review of the award decision falls under the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), based in Luxembourg.
Strategic Importance
This €28 million award underscores the European Investment Bank’s ongoing commitment to quality workplace infrastructure, supporting both employee well-being and operational performance.
By selecting two well-established local suppliers, the EIB reinforces Luxembourg’s position as a hub for sustainable and high-end office design, while ensuring continuity and flexibility in furnishing its expanding portfolio of European offices.
