  15. 6. HOW TO APPLY FOR A TENDER?Search of Partners - Consortium 3 - Search of partners Once the forecast tender has been found, it is necessary to check it every day so that we are aware of the Procurement Notice publication. After that, there will be about 30 days in order to submit our Prequalification Form. In the meantime, firms have to look for partners. HOW? Search of closed projects Search of shortlists Select the country that suits your project.

  16. 6. HOW TO APPLY FOR A TENDER?Search of Partners - Consortium Most of the closed announcements contain a document which shows the short-listed companies for such project. Then you can assure to contact expertised firms in Europeaid and try to collaborate with them. Short-list example: Sometimes it is also possible to get the Award Document, and find the name of the awarded company.

MARSH SA in consortium with ACE European Group Ltd., Allianz Worldwide Care Ltd., Chubb Insurance Company of Europe SA and Hiscox Syndicate at Lloyds 3. UNIQA VERSICHERUNGEN AG 4.

  17. 6. HOW TO APPLY FOR A TENDER?Procurement Notice – Application Form 4. Publication of the Procurement Notice ¿What is the difference between the Pre-information notice and the Procurement notice? • The pre-information notice is the first announcement and there is very little information. • The importance of the procurement notice is that it shows the deadline of the submission of the prequalification documents. There is a bit more of information, but still very little. • Once the procurement notice is published, the project turns into an Opened Project. • Then, the leader of the consortium shall manage the project and will coordinate the fulfilment of the application form. • The procurement notice must not be understood as the Terms of Reference (ToR) of the project.

  18. 6. HOW TO APPLY FOR A TENDER?Procurement Notice – Application Form 5. Submission of the APPLICATION FORM Requested information: the procedure is always the same. 1 - ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CAPACITY

  19. 6. HOW TO APPLY FOR A TENDER?Procurement Notice – Application Form 2 - STAFF RESOURCES

  20. 6. HOW TO APPLY FOR A TENDER?Procurement Notice – Application Form 3- EXPERIENCE / CAPABILITY STATEMENTS Capability statements show the experience of the firm. It is highly recommended that companies elaborate their capability statements before this stage, so that they can send them to their possible partners when creating the consortium.

  21. 6. HOW TO APPLY FOR A TENDER?Prequalification - FAQ • How long should I wait till we are confirmed if we are short-listed? It depends on the number of EoIs that the Evaluation Committee receives. Nevertheless, the committee shall contact the leader of each consortium and will inform he/she about the results. • The procurement notice does not offer much information. Maybe after the reception of the Terms of Reference we realise that we are not prepared to take part in this project. What would happen then? Nothing would happen. Only the short-listed firms receive the terms of reference. Once they are aware of the full terms, they can freely decide whether they want to take part or not in the project (if they were eventually selected as the awarded consortium). • How many capability statements can I include in my Application Form? There is a maximum of 15 capability statements per application form. A strategically selection of the capabilities is very important. • The European Commission is multi-lingual, can I write my application form in any other language different from English? Unless specified, all application forms must be written in English. • Should I include any CVs in my Application Form? The prequalification phase does not require any CVs, only financial information and expertise related to the applied project. • Should I bear in mind that applying for a tender with Europeaid is hard and risky? Not at all. The process is always the same. The firm only has to elaborate its capability statements and fulfil the mentioned tables containing its financial data and its staff resources. As for the risks, the prequalification phase does not involve any risks.
