Bids for contract

Calls for tenders represent another of the more diffuse forms of bilateral aid. For the most part they concern technical assistance provided by teams of experts from member states who bring European (and not individual national) know-how to the creation of mechanisms by which to optimise (and, ideally, multiply) resources. These calls can also concern work projects and supply and are open to public and private bodies and operators—for- and non-profit. A complete rundown of the bidding procedures is available on the Commission’s EuropeAid website.
