Dear Sir/Madam,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001, I am writing to request access to documents held by the Commission regarding the following procurement procedure:
Tender Title: Support towards implementation of the EU Methane Regulation
Internal Reference: EC-ENER/2025/OP/0049

- The Final Evaluation Report (or the portion thereof) showing the name of the winning contractor and the total contract value.
- The signed Contract (redacted for trade secrets where strictly necessary).
If the contract has not yet been awarded, the current status of the procedure and the expected date for the award notification.
I am requesting these documents in electronic format. Should your department choose to apply any redactions based on the exceptions in Article 4 of Regulation 1049/2001, I request that you provide a specific justification for each redaction and consider the overriding public interest in the transparent spending of EU funds.
