This includes providing support to individual experts while responding to Requests for Services, and smooth and timely management and quality assurance of all contractual, technical and financial issues. What are Framework Contracts? To increase flexibility in the provision of technical assistance (TA) provided to both partner countries and its own operations, the European Commission (EC) has streamlined procurement procedures through the use of Framework Contracts (FWCs). The objective of the EC's FWCs s is to provide short-term services for the benefit of partner countries and for Commission internal services. FWCs can cover all main EC programmes, instruments and regions. FWCs are usually 4 year contracts in which groups of companies (consortia) become 'preferred suppliers' for TA services to the EC for a specific area of expertise, known as a 'Lot'. Typically, each Lot is serviced by several consortia that are invited - through 'Requests for Services' (RfS) - to submit proposals (CVs of experts and brief methodologies) for a specific assignment. The period of time between the receipt of an RfS and the deadline for the corresponding proposal's submission is 14 calendar days for shorter and 30 calendar days for longer assignments. Services requested under individual projects relate to the full project cycle: identification, feasibility, operational and technical follow-up assignments financial and/or contractual monitoring project evaluation technical, financial or contractual audit of the project technical advice training and support information and communication, or closure of a project policy/strategy evaluation Expertise common to all Lots As a minimum, the expertise is required to cover the entire project cycle from design to implementation and evaluation of EU interventions: Analytical studies (e.g. feasibility studies, institutional/stakeholder analysis, political and economic analysis, strategic environmental assessments, environmental impact assessments, climate risk assessments, intervention logic and logical framework approach/theory of change, economic analysis, data collection and analysis, performance measurement and indicators, monitoring and evaluation systems1).
