Procedure type: Negotiated with prior publication of a call for competition / competitive with negotiation. ### From the notice The project "PtX & Battery Value Chains in South Africa - Expert Pool (H2.SA II / BVC)" supports the development of a sustainable green hydrogen, Power-to-X (PtX) and battery economy in South Africa. Implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the project is part of H2.SA II / BVC, which is co-funded by the European Union and runs until 2030. South Africa has significant potential to develop competitive green hydrogen and PtX industries due to its renewable energy resources, existing infrastructure, industrial base and potential domestic and international markets. At the same time, the country has significant potential to develop sustainable battery value chains, building on its established automotive industry and access to critical raw materials. The project provides support to public and private stakeholders to create an enabling policy and regulatory environment, strengthen capacities, improve the bankability of projects and develop sustainable and inclusive value chains. Its areas of work include strategy, policy and regulatory frameworks; private sector cooperation and finance; capacity strengthening, research and development; sustainability and just transition; and battery value chains. To respond flexibly and efficiently to the diverse and evolving demand for specialised expertise, GIZ intends to establish a framework agreement with an expert pool. The framework will enable the rapid mobilisation of qualified international and local experts for individual assignments addressing specific technical, economic, financial, environmental, social, regulatory, certification and battery value-chain related needs. ## Key facts - Status: Open - Deadline: No deadline in the notice - Buyer: [Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH](https://inteliwert.com/company/org_7W5W3CER76RCQDJTC49PE3WZPY/deutsche-gesellschaft-fuer-internationale-zusammenarbeit-giz), Eschborn, DE - Main CPV: Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security (CPV 79000000) - Procedure: Negotiated with prior publication of a call for competition / competitive with negotiation - Lots: 1 - First published: 8 September 2026, 00:00 (UTC+02:00) Source: [Official notice](https://oeffentlichevergabe.de/ui/de/notices/5a5ef441-222e-4a3c-a546-a72278a5e8b5).
