Official Journal C 365 , 04/12/1996 P. 0088 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-2181/96 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (26 July 1996)Subject: Invitation to tender by Commission Directorate-General VOn 14 February 1996 Commission Directorate-General V published an invitation to tender notice concerning information actions on the activities of DG V aimed at European citizens and health professionals under the programme on information consultancy - consultancy services on administrative matters and related services (96/C 42/10 and 42/11).As a doctor and a professor at the Athens University Medical School, I am particularly sensitive to matters relating to public health. I would therefore ask the Commission to provide me with the following information:1. Which companies tendered for Lot 1 (technical assistance office), Lot 2 (press conferences) and Lot 3 (organization of events and participation in exhibitions)?2. What are the tenderers like from the point of view of quality and cost?3. I would particularly like the decision adopted to be communicated to me together with the detailed reasons on which it was based.Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (9 October 1996)As regards lot 1, sub-lot 1A (technical assistance) has been withdrawn from this particular call for tender, and included under call for tender C140/12. Under that call it has been awarded to B& S (Worldcom Business and Syntagmes - Brussels). Submissions under sub-lots 1B (public health and safety at work bulletins) and 1C (descriptive documentation on Community measures) are currently under technical and financial evaluation, and will be presented to the Advisory committee on procurements and contracts (ACPC) in November 1996. The companies which have made submissions under these sub-lots are Sema group, B& S, Empirica, Cives, and Perrylux informatic.As regards lots 2 and 3, submissions under these are also currently under technical and financial evaluation, and will be presented to the ACPC in November 1996. The companies which have made submissions under lot 2 (press conferences and press releases) are Sema group, B& S, Hill & Knowlton, Bold/Ogilvy/Mathers, Pinnacle, GCI Europe, and Anglia corporate marketing. The companies which have made submissions under lot 3 (publicity stand, conference organisation, promotional materials) are Sema Group, B& S, Bold/Ogilvy/Mathers, Anglia corporate marketing, Messecenter Henning, and Stadeco.As submissions under these lots are currently under evaluation, the Commission is unable at this stage to give any final assessment of the quality of the bids, or to release precise information on their costs. However, it can be noted that the relative costs between bids vary by a ratio of up to 2.5 to 1. The Honourable Member will be aware that it is the role of the ACPC to ensure that the selection procedures and proposed contracts comply with the budgetary rules and the directives. The outcome of the procedure will be published in the official journal, as well as being notified individually to the companies concerned.
