• DISSEMINATION (also called <strong>ECHA</strong> CHEM) 10 : It is implementing the aspects of the<br />
REACH regulation pertaining to making select data freely available on the internet.<br />
• eCHEMPORTAL 11 : It is an IT tool (co-development between <strong>ECHA</strong> and the OECD) that<br />
provides free public access to information on properties of chemicals and allows<br />
simultaneous searching of reports and datasets by chemical name and number and by<br />
chemical property.<br />
Regarding biocides Regulation 12 , the exact scope of <strong>ECHA</strong>’s role is still subject to the finalisation<br />
of the legislative process between the Commission, the Council and European Parliament. It is<br />
probable that <strong>ECHA</strong> will undertake the responsibility of receiving and checking applications for the<br />
approval of active substances and Union authorisation for biocidal products. If this happens,<br />
applications will be submitted through a (to be developed) IT portal (the Registry for Biocidal<br />
Products). The scientific evaluation will be taken care of by Member State Competent Authorities<br />
who submit an assessment report to <strong>ECHA</strong>. <strong>ECHA</strong> will have to build up a Biocidal Products<br />
Committee which will process these assessments. The European Commission will then decide on<br />
the approval of the substances and/or grant authorisation. There will also be other processes:<br />
helpdesk, data sharing and dissemination (similar to REACH), the assessment of technical<br />
equivalence and the publishing of a list of applicants who wish to continue on the market.<br />
Regarding the prior informed consent (PIC) Regulation 13 , the European Commission has<br />
proposed a recast of this Regulation, covering the export and import of dangerous chemicals,<br />
which implements the Rotterdam Convention by the EU. Under the draft proposals, in 2013 <strong>ECHA</strong><br />
will take over administrative, technical and scientific tasks currently carried out by the<br />
Commission's Joint Research Centre.<br />
This intended service provision aims at the creation and/or enhancement and/or<br />
maintenance/support of some or all of the IT systems mentioned below:<br />
• REACH-IT, IUCLID, RIPE, DISSEMINATION, eCHEMPORTAL, ODYSSEY and CHESAR<br />
(which are already in production and under further enhancements)<br />
• IT systems related to biocides and PIC regulations<br />
• Other new IT systems (according to the needs of <strong>ECHA</strong> and based on similar technologies)<br />
This Call for <strong>Tender</strong>s concerns 3 different lots:<br />
• Lot 1: creation and/or further development and/or support of<br />
o REACH-IT<br />
o IT system(s) related to biocides regulations<br />
o IT system(s) related to PIC regulations<br />

However, during the period between the publication of this document and the deadline for the submission of offers, it is<br />
possible that the <strong>ECHA</strong> web site is updated with a new look and structure. The information in Links 1 and 2 is foreseen<br />
to be located in section “Document Library” of the updated <strong>ECHA</strong> web site.<br />
