The GREGY Interconnector is a project of Mutual Interest (PMI) and a strategic electricity interconnection project involving high-voltage transmission infrastructure between Egypt and Greece, including submarine and onshore cable systems and associated facilities. The associated project, "2.13-ELEG-S-M-25-GREGY-STUDIES", has been successfully awarded under the Connecting Europe Facility (Grant Agreement: 101290455). Its primary objective is to carry out the necessary technical and environmental studies required to advance the project. This Notice constitutes an invitation for interested parties to express their interest in participating in the forthcoming tender procedure. The Expression of Interest (EoI) phase is intended to: • identify interested and capable economic operators; • verify their suitability to participate in the tender process; • enable the Contracting Entity to provide confidential tender documentation. Interested parties shall submit EoI including: • Company name and details; • Contact information; • Brief company profile; • Confirmation of relevant experience in territorial civil works studies for major infrastructure, energy and/or transmission projects; • Confirmation of willingness to participate in the tender procedure. Technical and financial submissions are not required at this stage. - Deadline for submission of EoI: 21.08.2026 -
Expressions of Interest shall be submitted in English, by email to: info@gregy-interconnector.gr. Due to the confidential nature of certain project information, interested parties who submit an EoI will be required to execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement (“NDA”). The NDA shall regulate access to confidential information, including but not limited to: • project documentation; • technical studies; • engineering information; • environmental baseline data; • commercial information; • tender documentation. Only parties who have executed the NDA will receive the complete tender documents.

Territorial Civil Works (TCW) Studies for the 2.13-ELEG-S-M-25-GREGY-STUDIES
Preparation and submission of applications to the relevant authorities to receive the authorisations (permits) for conducting onshore geological and geotechnical studies in both countries, and execution of these studies upon issuance of authorisations (permits) by the relevant authorities. They consist of a detailed mapping of the works area to determine the overall design of the onshore routes, the landing points, including the location of the converter stations, and the integration with the existing grid infrastructure. The access roads to the converters’ stations and transportation plans (defining the routes for transporting major equipment to the final installation locations) will also be identified. Developing topographic maps and preparation of the preliminary onshore route engineering design. The main deliverable is the territorial civil works studies completed.
