| Background |
Award notification for Lot 2 Transport and Infrastructures
The European Commission has selected the Alanet consortium in which AGEG participates
as partner for the Lot N° 2 of the Multiple Framework Contract to recruit
technical assistance for short-term expertise in the sector Transport and Infrastructures
for third countries benefiting from European Commission external aid.
Contract negotiations are expected to be finalized by September 2009. The
Multiple Framework Contract will be for 2 years and may be renewed for a
further 2-year period.
We expect to receive requests for international and national expertise by the
European Commission from mid September 2009 onwards.
What are Framework Contracts?
To increase
flexibility in the provision of technical assistance (TA) to the benefit of
third countries as well as its own operations, the European Commission (EC) has
streamlined procurement procedures through the use of Framework Contracts (FWC).
Framework contracts can cover all the main EC programmes and regions including
PHARE, ISPA, SAPARD, TACIS, CARDS, OBNOVA, ALA, MEDA, FED, EAR and OTHER.
Framework
contracts are mostly multi-year contracts in which groups of companies
(Consortia) become ‘preferred suppliers’ for TA services to the EC for a
specific area of expertise, the so-called ‘Lots’.
Particular
procedures vary between framework contracts and lots, but typically each lot is
serviced by several Consortia who are in turn invited -in a so-called Request
for Services (RfS)- to submit proposals (CVs + brief methodology) for a specific
project. Each of these Consortia intends to offer a competitive team to the EC
from their own staff, by using their network of partner organizations or by
approaching freelance consultants.
The time between
the RfS and the deadline for submission is usually very short and often not
longer than two weeks. Based upon an evaluation of the proposals submitted by
the different groups of companies the (Delegation of the) Commission decides
which proposal wins.
The Framework Contract Beneficiaries,
is an instrument for fast and transparent recruiting of experts for activities
in the sole interest of the beneficiary countries/authorities of the European
Commission’s external aid programmes.
