Mexico is at a critical juncture in its transition toward sustainable and low-emission mobility systems. The transport sector remains one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 23% of total emissions, and represents a key area for achieving national climate commitments under the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0).
Despite growing political commitment and the development of the National Electric Mobility Strategy (ENME), significant structural barriers continue to hinder large-scale deployment of electromobility. These include fragmented regulatory frameworks, limited interinstitutional coordination, infrastructure gaps, insufficient technical standards, and a lack of scalable financial and operational models.
The project "MOVERSE - Urban Sustainable Mobility in Mexico", implemented by the Mexican and German governments through SEDATU and GIZ, seeks to address these challenges by strengthening enabling conditions for sustainable and inclusive urban mobility. Within this framework, electromobility plays a central role in advancing decarbonization, improving air quality, and modernizing transport systems.

To be provided are strategic, technical, and operational support to strengthen electromobility deployment in Mexico. The approach combines regulatory development, infrastructure planning, institutional coordination, and knowledge transfer, ensuring a coherent and scalable transition toward low-emission mobility systems.

The activities will be structured under three core work packages:
Work Package 1: Policy, Regulation and Technical Standards for Electromobility
This work package focuses on establishing a coherent and harmonized regulatory framework to enable large-scale adoption of electromobility in Mexico. It aims to develop a National Roadmap for E-Mobility Standards and Regulations, serving as a strategic reference for federal and subnational authorities.
- Development of a national regulatory framework aligned with international best practices
- Definition of technical standards for charging infrastructure, vehicles, and system interoperability
- Establishment of "EV-ready" requirements for buildings and urban infrastructure
- Development of operational, safety, and maintenance standards for electric fleets
- Definition of battery lifecycle management, including second-life and recycling protocols
- Design of interinstitutional governance mechanisms for regulatory coordination
This work package will result in a comprehensive White Paper consolidating regulatory recommendations, technical standards, and implementation pathways.

Work Package 2: Multilevel Governance and Implementation of Electromobility
This work package focuses on operationalizing electromobility policies through coordinated actions across federal, state, and local levels.
- Implementation and operationalization of the National Electric Mobility Strategy (ENME)
- Development of state-level electromobility strategies and implementation roadmaps
- Design of regulatory harmonization frameworks across jurisdictions
- Identification of financing mechanisms and business models for fleet electrification
- Development of infrastructure planning guidelines and project pipelines
- Integration of electromobility into climate policy instruments (NDC 3.0)
This work package ensures that national policy objectives are translated into actionable measures and scalable projects.

Work Package 3: Capacity Development, Training and Knowledge Transfer
This work package focuses on strengthening institutional, technical, and operational capacities across stakeholders involved in the electromobility transition.
- Design and implementation of training programs for public and private sector actors
- Development of an online course on electromobility planning and implementation
- Organization of workshops, webinars, and knowledge exchange events
- Development of communication and knowledge products (guides, infographics, policy briefs)
- Facilitation of stakeholder engagement and intersectoral dialogue
This work package ensures that knowledge generated in the project is effectively transferred and institutionalized.

GIZ may optionally commission contract amendments and/or increases based on the criteria in the tender documents to the successful bidder of this tender. For details, please see the terms of reference.

According to Article 160, Section 3 of the German Act Against Restraint of Competition (GWB), application for review is not permissible insofar as
1. the applicant has identified the claimed infringement of the procurement rules before submitting the application for review and has not submitted a complaint to the contracting authority within a period of 10 calendar days; the expiry of the period pursuant to Article 134, Section 2 remains unaffected,
2. complaints of infringements of procurement rules that are evident in the tender notice are not submitted to the contracting authority at the latest by the expiry of the deadline for the application or by the deadline for the submission of bids, specified in the tender notice.
3. complaints of infringements of procurement rules that first become evident in the tender documents are not submitted to the contracting authority at the latest by the expiry of the deadline for application or by the deadline for the submission of bids,
4. more than 15 calendar days have expired since receipt of notification from the contracting authority that it is unwilling to redress the complaint.
Sentence 1 does not apply in the case of an application to determine the invalidity of the contract in accordance with Article 135, Section 1 (2). Article 134, Section 1, Sentence 2 remains unaffected.

All communication takes place in English via communication tool in the project area of the procurement portal.

GIZ asks the applicant or bidder to submit, complete or correct documents, within the framework laid down by law.

The execution conditions result from the information given in the contract notice and the tender documents.
