Source: EuroHPC Joint UndertakingAlso reported by HPCwire

The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking has extended the deadline for Lot 1 tenders in its call for AI Gigafactory consortia to 4 February 2027, 17:00 Luxembourg time, to give Member States time to complete national budget procedures and submit financial commitments. Lot 2 keeps its deadline of 3 December 2026, 17:00 Luxembourg time. For technical reasons, all draft and submitted tenders in the system will not be considered, and they must be recreated and resubmitted under new submission links that the authority will announce.

Why it matters

Lot 1 bidders have until 4 February 2027 and must recreate any draft or submitted tender under new submission links, because the current ones will not be considered.
