Multiple Framework Service Contract for the Provision of External Expertise in the Fields of the EU Budget

The planned multiple framework service contract is intended to support the work of the 2 Committees on Budgets (BUDG) and on Budgetary Control (CONT) in the European Parliament by enabling it to order studies and briefings.

Main Site : The study reports, briefing notes and other research papers shall be delivered to the same address as under I.1. For studies, the contractor may be required to present the offer in Brussels.

The expertise sought shall support the Committees in their main activities:

The BUDG and CONT committees prepare and exercise the European Parliament`s decision-makings in their roles as Budgetary and discharge authorities of the European Union. As such, their main responsibilities could be summarised as follows:

— Committee on Budgets (BUDG).

1) Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) of the EU;

2) EU revenue;

3) Annual adoption of the EU budget (annual budgetary procedure);

4) Follow up of the implementation of the EU budget.

— Committee on Budgetary Control (CONT)

5) Discharge of the EU budget and ex-post control of implementation of the budget;

6) Fight against fraud and the protection of EU financial interests.

This includes amongst others the following activities and aspects:

— the Union`s system of own resources,

— the budgets of the decentralised bodies (agencies),

— budgetisation of the European Development Fund and the control of its implementation,

— financial activities of the European Investment Bank and its control,

— relations with the European Anti-Fraud Office, consideration of fraud and irregularities and undertaking measures at preventing such cases,

— relations with the European Court of Auditors, the appointment of its Members and consideration of its reports,

— EU funds, programmes and financial instruments,

— added value of the spending of the EU budget,

— control of the financial management of the EU budget and the effectiveness of its programmes,

— the Financial Regulation,

— cross cutting aspects of EU legislation, budgetary funds and programmes.

In relation to this procedure, the European Parliament does not request a proof of status and legal capacity at this stage of the procedure but reserves the right to do so at a later stage, if it deems it necessary.

Tenderers shall have sufficient economic and financial capacity to enable them to perform the contract in compliance with the contractual provisions. If, in the light of the information supplied, the European Parliament has doubts about a tenderer`s financial resources, or about whether these financial resources are insufficient for the performance of the contract, the tender may be rejected without the tenderer being able to claim any financial compensation.

With regards to the contract which is the subject of this invitation to tender, the European Parliament furthermore requires tenderers depending on their country of residence (according to section 6 above) to have a minimum financial and economic capacity of:

— minimum turnover over the last 2 financial years of country twice annual minimum wages (in 2019 figures) Twice 60 % of annual median income (in 2017 figures)

Austria 30 211 EUR

For tenderers from non-EU countries the financial and economic capacity will be determined in analogy: twice annual minimum wages (in 2019 figures) or twice 60 % of the annual median income (in 2017 figures).

Financial and economic capacity shall be assessed on the basis of the information included in the following documents, to be supplied by tenderers:

— Income declaration for at least the two most recent financial years. For legal persons, this can be done through a tax declaration, statement of overall turnover or audited accounts. For tenderers who are natural persons, gross income shall be deemed to represent turnover.

If the tenderer is unable to provide the documents requested, he may prove his economic and financial capacity by any other document which the European Parliament considers appropriate.

The tenderer may also rely on the capacity of other entities, irrespective of the legal nature of the links between himself/herself and those entities (see Sections 7 and 8 above on groups of economic operators and sub-contracting). In that case, he/she shall prove to the European Parliament that he/she shall have the resources necessary for the performance of the contract, for example by producing a commitment on the part of those entities to make them available to him. In that case, the European Parliament is entitled to refuse the application or the tender submitted if it has doubts about the commitment by the third party or about that party`s financial capacity. Parliament may, where applicable, require the tenderer and those other entities to be jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract.
