The Phare Regulation specifies (Article 7) that, in cases involving more than EUR 50 000, participation in invitations to tender and contracts must be open on equal terms to all natural and legal persons of the Member States and the countries of the Phare group. 
I Phare-frordningen (artikel 7) preciseras att vid bistnd som verstiger 50 000 euro skall anbudsinfordringar och kontrakt vara ppna p lika villkor fr alla fysiska och juridiska personer inom medlemsstaterna och Phare-lnderna.
The practical rules for awarding these contracts are laid down in the manual of decentralised management procedures (DIS). 
De praktiska bestmmelserna fr tilldelning av sdana kontrakt faststlls i handboken fr frfaranden vid decentraliserad frvaltning.
For its part, the Tacis Regulation lays down that: (a) the widest possible participation in invitations to tender for supplies, works and services under equal conditions must be ensured; (b) the Commission must apply the selection criteria with due regard to transparency and rigour and at the same time try to diversify the selection; (c) onthewidestpossiblebasisandusingthemostmodernmeans of communication, any party that may be interested in tendering should be encouraged to express their interest. 
Enligt Tacis-frordningen a) mste bredast mjliga deltagande p lika villkor skerstllas vid infordran av anbud om varor, bygg-och anlggningsarbeten och tjnster, b) mste kommissionen skerstlla ndvndig insyn och noggrannhet vid tillmpningen av urvalskriterierna, samtidigt som den frsker gra en spridning av urvalet, c) br de intresserade parterna, som br vara s mnga som mjligt, med hjlp av de modernaste kommunikationsmedlen ges mjlighet att uttrycka sin nskan att beaktas vid anbudsinfordran.
Article 6 of the same Regulation stipulates that, as of the amount of EUR 200 000, service contracts must, as a rule, be awarded by restricted invitations to tender. 
I artikel 6 i denna frordning faststlls att kontrakt om tjnster som verstiger 200 000 euro i regel skall tilldelas genom selektiv anbudsinfordran.
THE MAIN STAGES OF THE RESTRICTED INVITATION TO TENDER 8. 
DE VIKTIGASTE ETAPPERNA VID SELEKTIV ANBUDSINFORDRAN 8.
For both Phare and Tacis, there are four main stages in the restricted procedures for putting contracts up for tender: (a) the call for expressions of interest in the proposed project; (b) the drawing-up of a shortlist of undertakings that are to be invited to participate; (c) the invitation to tender and notification of the detailed rules for submitting tenders; (d) the evaluation of the tenders submitted and subsequent selection of the best tender. 
Bde fr Phare och Tacis frekommer fljande fyra etapper vid selektiv anbudsinfordran: a) Fretagen uppmanas att anmla eventuellt intresse fr det aktuella projektet. b) En begrnsad lista upprttas ver de fretag som kommer att uppmanas att lmna in anbud. c) Fretagen uppmanas att lmna anbud och frfarandena fr inlmnandet av anbud meddelas. d) De lmnade anbuden utvrderas och det bsta anbudet vljs.
The call for expressions of interest and the drawing-up of shortlists are vital, as they ensure that the principles of equality of treatment for the purposes of participation in public contracts are respected (Article 114 of the Financial Regulation). 
Uppmaningen att anmla eventuellt intresse och sammanstllningen av begrnsade listor r mycket viktiga eftersom de skerstller att principen om lika behandling vid deltagandet i anbudsfrfaranden respekteras (artikel 114 i budgetfrordningen).

Where operations are managed centrally, as is the case for the Tacis programmes and the Phare multicountry measures and the measures that were being carried out at the time in the Baltic States, employees at the CommissionŐs headquarters are directly responsible for the procedure. 
Nr verksamheten administreras centralt, ssom r fallet fr Tacis-programmet och tgrder som omfattar flera lnder inom Phare-programmet samt de tgrder som vid denna tidpunkt genomfrdes i de baltiska lnderna, r kommissionens centrala avdelningar direkt ansvariga fr hur frfarandena genomfrs.
Where operations are conducted under the decentralised management system, the DIS procedures are essentially carried out by the authorities in the beneficiary country, usually with the help of Western technical assistants and under the supervision of the Commission delegation on the spot. 
Nr verksamheten sker inom ramen fr systemet fr decentraliserad frvaltning, genomfrs frfarandena inom detta system till stor del av de stdmottagande lndernas myndigheter med std av tekniska assistenter frn Vsteuropa och under verinseende av kommissionens delegationer p platsen.
Calls for expressions of interest 10. 
Uppmaning att anmla eventuellt intresse 10.
This stage, which aims to ensure that the range of competition is the widest possible, consists in informing any interested undertaking or organisation of the forthcoming award of a contract. 
Denna etapp som syftar till att skerstlla strsta mjliga konkurrens gr till s att alla intresserade fretag eller organisationer informeras om att ett kontrakt snart skall tilldelas.
This information is circulated via the Official Journal of the European Communities or the Internet (since October 1996 for service contracts exceeding EUR 200 000). 
Informationen sprids genom EGT eller via Internet (sedan oktober 1996 fr tjnsteavtal som verstiger 200 000 euro).
The drawing-up of shortlists 11. 
Sammanstllande av begrnsade listor 11.
On the basis of the expressions of interest and their registers of contractors, the Commission staff or the PMUs (1) draw up a shortlist of undertakings which includes only those considered to be most able to carry out the planned operation. 
Kommissionens avdelningar eller programmens frvaltningsenheter upprttar p grundval av intresseanmlningarna och sina leverantrsregister en begrnsad lista ver fretag dr bara de som bedms vara mest lmpade att genomfra den planerade tgrden tas med.
The factors borne in mind when drawing up the shortlist are recorded in a report which is included in the file for the invitation to tender. 
De faktorer som beaktas vid utarbetandet av den begrnsade listan tas upp i en rapport som bifogas anbudshandlingarna.
In order to ensure that there is adequate competition, the two programmes have laid down a minimum for the number of undertakings that are to appear on the shortlist: seven for contracts not exceeding EUR 1 million and 10 for other contracts. 
Fr att garantera tillrckligt stor konkurrens har man inom de tv programmen faststllt det minsta antal fretag som mste finnas p den begrnsade listan: sju fr de avtal som inte verstiger 1 miljon euro och tio fr vriga.
Paragraph 11 of Annex II to the Tacis Regulation also states that in the case of highly complex projects it may be suggested that undertakings be grouped in consortia. 
I punkt 11 i bilaga II till frordningen om Tacis preciseras ocks att fr mycket komplicerade projekt kan bildandet av konsortium fresls.
Invitations to participate 13. 
Uppmaning att lmna anbud 13.
The undertakings chosen at the end of the preselection process are invited to submit a tender for services. 
De fretag som finns kvar efter det frberedande urvalet uppmanas att lmna anbud.
For this purpose, they receive a complete file containing the following documents: (a) the list of undertakings invited to participate; (b) the instructions to tenderers; (c) the rules applicable to tenders and to the award of service contracts financed by Phare and Tacis; (d) the standard contract and its annexes, including the specifications for the particular contract concerned. 
Fr att de skall kunna gra detta erhller de fljande dokument: a) En lista ver de fretag som erbjuds att delta i anbudsgivningen. b) Instruktioner till anbudsgivarna. c) Tillmpliga regler fr anbuden och fr tilldelningen av kontrakt om tjnster som finansieras av Phare och Tacis. d) Ett standardkontrakt med bilagor, inklusive de specifikationer som gller fr kontraktet i frga.
The instructions specify the structure, content, conditions and deadlines for the submission of tenders and the criteria for the award of the contract. 
I instruktionerna preciseras anbudens struktur, innehll, villkor och tidsgrns fr inlmnande samt de kriterier som anvnds fr tilldelning av kontraktet.
These are the factors on which the tenderer bases his bid. 
Utifrn dessa delar sammanstller anbudsgivaren sitt anbud.
The selection process always has two stages: a technical evaluation, followed by a financial evaluation, which account for 70 % and 30 % respectively of the final appraisal. 
Urvalsfrfarandet grs alltid i tv omgngar; en teknisk utvrdering som fljs av en ekonomisk utvrdering. Dessa str fr 70 % respektive 30 % av den slutliga bedmningen.
The evaluation of tenders The evaluation committee 16. 
Utvrdering av anbuden Utvrderingskommittn 16.
The bids submitted by the tenderers are evaluated by a special committee. 
Anbudsgivarnas anbud utvrderas av en srskild kommitt.
Since October 1996 the evaluation committees for contracts awarded on the direct authority of the Commission have comprised a (non-voting) chairman, who is an established member of the Commission staff, and five evaluators (two Commission representatives, one representative of the final beneficiary, two outside experts or two experts belonging to the Commission staff). 
Nr det gller kontrakt som tilldelas direkt av kommissionen bestr utvrderingskommitterna sedan oktober 1996 av en ordfrande (utan rstrtt) som r anstlld vid kommissionen och som omfattas av tjnstefreskrifterna samt fem utvrderare (tv representanter frn kommissionen, en representant frn den slutliga stdmottagaren, tv externa experter eller experter som tillhr kommissionens personal).
For the decentralised Phare contracts, the local authorising officer determines the composition of the committee, which may include an outside expert. 
Nr det gller de decentraliserade Phare-kontrakten r det den lokala utanordnaren som bestmmer vilka som skall ing i kommittn och den kan ven omfatta en extern expert.
When the tenders are opened, the evaluation committee checks that each tender was indeed received within the prescribed time limits and that the technical and financial proposals are separate. 
Nr anbuden ppnas frskrar sig utvrderingskommittn om att varje anbud mottagits inom den faststllda tidsfristen och att de tekniska och ekonomiska frslagen r tskilda.
It then proceeds with the technical and financial evaluations, checking that the documentation was duly submitted in accordance with the prescribed rules. 
Vid de tekniska och ekonomiska utvrderingarna kontrollerar den sedan att dokumentationen fljer de faststllda normerna.
At each of these stages the Committee draws up a report on its work. 
Kommittn sammanstller efter varje etapp en redogrelse fr sitt arbete.
Technical evaluation 18. 
Den tekniska utvrderingen 18.
The first part of the actual evaluation is the appraisal of the technical proposals and this usually consists of two stages: (1) Programme Management Units. (a) scrutiny of the written proposals; 
Den frsta delen av den egentliga utvrderingen bestr av bedmningen av de tekniska anbuden och den omfattar i allmnhet tv etapper, dvs.: a) En genomgng av de skriftliga frslagen.
6.12.2000 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 350/5 (b) an interview with the main parties involved (head of project, long-term experts, etc.). 
6.12.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 350/5 b) En intervju med de viktigaste deltagarna (projektets chef, experter med lngsiktig anknytning, osv.).
The technical tenders are evaluated in the light of various parameters, which, as a rule, are set out in the instructions to tenderers. 
De tekniska anbuden utvrderas efter olika parametrar som i princip beskrivits i instruktionerna till anbudsgivarna.
The evaluators take into account the proposed organisation, the tendererŐs experience and the quality of the proposed staff, plus the use of local experts. 
Man tar hnsyn till den freslagna organisationen, anbudsgivarens erfarenhet och den freslagna personalens kvalitet, samt anvndandet av lokala experter som i princip skall mjliggra kunskapsverfring och bestende resultat.
Only undertakings which score over 65 % in the technical evaluation then go on to the financial evaluation (see paragraph 15). 
Endast de fretag vilkas pong vid den tekniska utvrderingen verstiger 65 % gr vidare till en ekonomisk utvrdering (se punkt 15).
Financial evaluation 20. 
Ekonomisk utvrdering 20.
The instructions to tenderers always state that the proposed fees must be within reasonable market rates and that the total amount of the tender may not exceed a given budget for each invitation to tender. 
I de instruktioner som anbudsgivarna fr preciseras alltid att de freslagna arvodena mste hllas inom rimliga grnser som stts av marknaden och att anbudets totala belopp inte fr verstiga den budget som angivits fr varje anbudsinfordran.
For contracts under the Tacis programme, the information on the financial evaluation does not contain any further details, whereas for Phare contracts the CommissionŐs internal instructions (4 October 1996) require the method used for the financial evaluation to be specified. 
Fr marknaderna inom programmet Tacis r informationen om den ekonomiska utvrderingen inte mer detaljerad, medan dremot kommissionens interna instruktioner (4 oktober 1996) krver att den metod som anvnds fr den ekonomiska utvrderingen mste anges nr det gller Phare-marknaderna.
For the latter, one of the following two methods is usually applied: (a) comparison of the total prices, excluding reimbursable expenses; (b) comparison of the unit prices (total price less reimbursable expenses divided by the proposed number of man-days). 
Fr de sistnmnda anvnds i princip en av fljande tv metoder: a) En jmfrelse av total kostnad exklusive ersttningsberttigade kostnader. b) En jmfrelse av kostnad per enhet (totalkostnad minus ersttningsberttigade kostnader delat med det freslagna antalet mandagar).
22. mark for the technical part in order to obtain the final mark. 
22. De pong som det ekonomiska frslaget fr lggs till pongen frn den tekniska delen och dessa bildar tillsammans det slutliga betyget.
The tender that achieves the highest mark overall is then regarded as economically the most advantageous and, in principle, gains the contract. 
Det anbud som fr den hgsta pongen anses vara det ekonomiskt mest frdelaktiga och tilldelas i princip kontraktet.
OBSERVATIONS ON RESTRICTED INVITATIONS TO TENDER 23. 
IAKTTAGELSER OM SELEKTIV ANBUDSINFORDRAN 23.
The most serious problems, however, concerned the evaluation of the tenders and the management of the files. 
De strsta problemen gller emellertid utvrderingen av anbud och handlggningen av renden.
These shortcomings were found in 47 of the 80 Phare files and 21 of the 40 Tacis files examined. 
Bristerna gllde 47 av 80 granskade Phare-renden och 21 av 40 granskade Tacis-renden.
Of the 68 cases in which the problems encountered were considered to be serious (see the table) there were eight where the problem had a direct effect on the final award of the contract and 12 where it might have affected the award of the contract. 
Av de 68 fall dr de problem som uppdagades ansgs vara betydande (se tabell) har tta haft direkta terverkningar p den slutliga tilldelningen av kontrakt medan tolv fall kan ha pverkat tilldelningen av kontrakt.
Due to the absence of supporting documents, it is not possible to give an opinion in the latter cases. 
I de senare fallen gr avsaknaden av verifikationer det omjligt att uttala sig om detta.

6.12.2000 SV Europeiska gemenskapernas officiella tidning C 350/7 Begrnsade listor Det frberedande urvalets kvalitet 25.
With the exception of four Phare contracts for which the documentation could not be produced, all the contracts examined were duly advertised as required. 
Med undantag fr fyra Phare-avtal, fr vilka handlingarna inte kunde lggas fram, har reglerna fr offentliggrande fljts fr alla granskade avtal.
There was considerable variety in the form and the content of the preselection reports, depending on the programme and the manager. 
De frberedande urvalsrapporternas form och innehll varierar ptagligt mellan olika program och frvaltare.
Under the decentralised management for Phare, an evaluation chart is used consisting of predetermined criteria which result in an overall mark. 
Inom ramen fr den decentraliserade Phare-frvaltningen anvnds en schematisk utvrdering med i frvg faststllda kriterier som leder fram till en viss total pong.
Only those undertakings that have been awarded a mark higher than a set minimum of 65 % are allowed to go on to the next stage. 
Endast de fretag som nr ver en grns som faststllts till 65 % gr vidare till nsta etapp.
The most recent version of the decentralised management procedures came into force in September 1997, since when the preselection has been the responsibility of a special committee made up of three persons designated by the local authorising officer. 
Sedan denna sista version av frfarandena fr decentraliserad frvaltning trdde i kraft (september 1997) grs det frberedande urvalet av en srskild kommitt som bestr av tre personer som utsetts av den lokala utanordnaren.
In the case of the Tacis programme, the shortlist is essentially drawn up on the basis of an appraisal by the Commission manager, endorsed by the authorising officer. 
Fr Tacis-programmet upprttas den begrnsade listan i huvudsak p grundval av en bedmning som grs av kommissionens handlggare och som omfattas av utanordnaren.
Thirty-four Phare and seven Tacis files did not contain documentation to show that the shortlist had been drawn up in a way which ensured that there was effective competition. 
34 Phare-renden och sju Tacis-renden innehll ingen dokumentation som visade att den begrnsade listan hade sammanstllts p ett stt som garanterade konkurrens.
For 13 Phare contracts and three Tacis contracts (Annex I), only one tenderer passed the technical selection and was simultaneously awarded the contract. 
Fr 13 avtal inom Phare och tre avtal inom Tacis (bilaga I) godkndes endast ett av de anbudsgivande fretagen vid den tekniska genomgngen och tilldelades drmed samtidigt kontraktet.
Reduced competition 30. 
Begrnsad konkurrens 30.
In fact, the setting of minimum levels for the number of undertakings to be included in shortlists had little effect, because the formation of consortia and subcontracting between undertakings on the same shortlist were authorised very often, thereby weakening the competition between tenderers (see box No 1). 
I verkligheten har det minsta antal fretag som skall finnas med p den begrnsade listan inte haft ngon strre effekt, eftersom bildandet av konsortier och underleverantrskontrakt mellan fretag som frekommer p samma begrnsade lista oftast varit tilltet, vilket minskat konkurrensen mellan anbudsgivarna (se ruta nr 1).
The instruction manual mentioned in paragraph 3 now prohibits groups of this kind. 
I den handbok som nmns i punkt 3 frbjuds sdana grupperingar.
Thus, in 34 of the 80 Phare invitations to tender and 31 of the 40 Tacis invitations to tender examined, undertakings on the shortlist were grouped together. 
I 34 av de 80 anbudsinfordringar som granskats fr Phare och i 31 av de 40 anbudsinfordringar som granskats fr Tacis frekommer samarbete mellan fretag p den begrnsade listan.
Furthermore, in 38 Phare cases and 11 Tacis cases, the number of tenders received was less than half the number of invitations to tender that had been sent, partly because of grouping (Annex II). 
I 38 Phare-fall och 11 Tacis-fall var dessutom antalet inkomna anbud inte ens hlften s mnga som de uppmaningar om att lmna anbud som skickats ut, bl.a. p grund av samarbete mellan fretag (bilaga II).
Moreover in one Tacis case there were questionable aspects to the manner in which one tenderer went about forming a consortium (see box No 1, paragraph 35). 
I ett Tacis-rende anvnde sig en anbudsgivare dessutom av tveksamma frfaranden fr att upprtta ett konsortium (se ruta nr 1, punkt 35).
Phare Box No 1 32. # 105:EUR 1 million. 
Phare Ruta nr 1 32. Nr 105: 1 miljon euro.
There were 11 undertakings on the shortlist for the award of a contract in the energy sector in Romania. 
Den begrnsade listan fr tilldelning av kontrakt p energiomrdet i Rumnien omfattade elva fretag.
As a result of grouping, only three tenders were submitted. 
Efter sammanslagningar lmnades bara tre anbud in. 33.

Nr 110: 2,3 miljoner euro.
The outcome was that there were only two tenders combining six associates out of the 16 that had been invited to tender. 
Detta resulterade i endast tv anbud i vilka sex parter av de 16 som uppmanats delta deltog. Tacis 34.
Tacis 34. # 24: EUR 2 million.

Although eight undertakings were initially invited to tender, only two bids were received for a contract in the transport sector. 
Trots att tta fretag inledningsvis hade uppmanats att lmna anbud mottogs endast tv anbud fr ett kontrakt p transportomrdet.
These two tenders involved five of the undertakings from the preselection. 
I dessa tv anbud deltog fem av de fretag som valts ut p frhand.
