Call for expression of interest to provide specific expertise in VET

The activities carried out by Cedefop frequently require specific external expertise. The aim of this CEI is to enable Cedefop to draw up a list of potential service providers to carry out work in thematic fields.Services to be provided will be conducted on the basis of contracts. Each time a contract is to be concluded, Cedefop will invite:  all potential service providers on the list, or only some potential service providers, selected on the basis of appropriate pre-selection criteria to participate in future tendering procedures. Following successful tendering procedures, contracts will be established between Cedefop and the service provider. The list drawn up following this CEI will be used solely for tendering procedures where the estimated value of the contract is below the ceilings laid down in the applicable EC public procurement Directives.

The list will remain valid for 3 years from the date of dispatch of the notice for publication (26/06/2006). Applicants may submit their application at any time during this period, except for the last 3 months (as per postmark).

• Applicants will be registered in the list after evaluation of their technical, economic and financial capacities.
• The evaluation will apply exclusion and selection criteria.
• Applicants will be informed of the result of their application.
• Unclear or incomplete applications may not be considered.

Important note: Applicants may not submit any applications as from 26/03/09.
