The objective of the Framework Contract is the provision, via individual assignments defined and contracted through Specific Contracts, of short-term expertise for the exclusive interest of Third Countries benefiting from the European Union's (EU) External Aid Programs. For each assignment, a Request for Services to submit an Offer is sent to 3 eligible Framework Contractors. The resulting Specific Contract is awarded to the Framework Contractor whose offer has been evaluated as having the best value for money among those offers passing the technical threshold of 80 out of 100 points, unless otherwise indicated in the Specific ToR. In order to guarantee equal treatment between the Framework Contractors retained for the Lot 4, the Framework Contractors receive a number of Requests in an overall balanced way. No guarantee is provided as to the number of Requests for Services sent to the Framework Contractor, as to the number of Specific Contracts awarded to him or as to the total amount contracted with him.
The main responsibilities of the Framework Contractor are:
- Respond to all Requests for Services sent to him. If he is not in a position to make an offer, a substantiated justification must be provided as rapidly as possible and by the deadline for submission of the offer at the latest.
- Carry out all administration in relation to the assignment (establishing a contract with the experts or service providers, providing insurance coverage, executing payments etc.).
- Brief, prior to the start of the assignment, the selected expert(s) regarding all administrative, contractual and technical aspects relevant to the individual assignment, and make available an appropriate logistical support for the experts throughout the implementation of the assignment.
Ensure, for each assignment, the quality and conformity with the Specific ToR and the quality of the reports or/and other outputs required.
