Note that tenderers only qualify for each individual discipline, not an entire scheme in themselves. I.e. if you as a tenderer want to be qualified in several disciplines, you must submit a qualification application for each individual discipline. Note also that being qualified for a category is not the same as entering into a contract for the delivery of consultants. A qualification for a discipline or several disciplines only means that tenders can be submitted for "mini competitions".

New suppliers can be addressed for as long as the scheme lasts. Interested suppliers can apply at any time to be included in the scheme. All new qualified tenderers shall be invited to participate in the further "mini competitions" under the scheme. In order for new suppliers to know about the scheme and apply to be included, the scheme must be announced in Doffin/TED with all the necessary information available throughout its lifetime.

See the attached tender documentation and annexes for further details.
