The activities implemented by the EU Service Provider under the programme will require the purchase of equipment for the beneficiaries to make the activities sustainable. The global objective of the assignment is a short term consultancy in support of the European Commission to verify that the proposal provided by the EU Service Provider complies with the European rules and regulations that govern the award of supply contract. The Technical Specifications should help ensure that suitably qualified contractors are chosen without bias and that the best value for money is obtained with the full transparency appropriate to the use of public funds.
