Developing, Organizing and Delivering of Training Activities under the EFSA European Food Risk Assessment Fellowship Programme
The European Risk Assessment Fellowship Programme is an initiative of the European Food Safety Authority to strengthen Europe’s food safety risk assessment capacity and build the risk assessment knowledge community. The programme is designed predominantly to offer a 1-year, learning-by-doing fellowship service placement accompanied by a specific food risk assessment training programme, to attract early-mid career scientists from the EU with limited experience in food safety risk assessment. Fellows would be placed in Art.36 Organisations with solid risk assessment capacity in other MSs in order to build capacity across organisations and MSs, contributing to harmonising methodologies and practises within the EU. This procurement procedure aims to select a contractor for the update of training materials, organisation and delivery of training activities under the EFSA European Food risk assessment fellowship programme.
Type of contract: single framework contract (FWC)
Duration of FWC: 1 year + automatic renewal up to 3 times for an overall maximum duration of 4 consecutive years.
Budget information: The financial ceiling available for specific contracts under the framework contract during an overall maximum period of 4 consecutive years is 750 000 EUR.
A contingency of 10 % and possible price indexations are already included in this ceiling.
It is expected that 3 fellowship cycles should be covered from the available budget, including all preparatory and logistical work described in these tender specifications.
Possible increase of FWC envelope: By virtue of Annex I, Section 2, article 11.1 e) of the Financial Regulation, EFSA reserves the option to launch a further negotiated procedure with the contractor chosen as a result of the present call for tender, for new services consisting in the repetition of similar services during the 3 years following the signature of the original contract.
The increase will not go beyond 50 % (375 000 EUR) of the original envelope.
