General Court (President of the Chamber) 22 July 2026, T-17/26 R (Indra Sistemas, SA v European External Action Service.)

Also known as

In an interim measures application arising from a public procurement dispute, the President of the General Court dismissed Indra Sistemas SA's application for suspension of the EEAS's decision rejecting its tender in a negotiated procedure without prior publication (reference EEAS/2025/NP/0073), holding that the applicant could not benefit from the eased urgency standard applicable to unsuccessful tenderers in public procurement matters because, as the sole tenderer in a single-operator procedure, no contract had been or could be awarded to a competing tenderer. The Court further held that the applicant failed to demonstrate serious and irreparable damage to the requisite legal standard, finding that the alleged financial loss was inadequately evidenced, the claimed loss of market share was unsupported by evidence of structural or legal obstacles to recovery, and the purported loss of 'reference supplier' status and future contracting opportunities constituted merely incidental or hypothetical harm. Since the conditions for interim relief are cumulative, the application was dismissed for lack of urgency without examination of the prima facie case or the balance of interests.AI
