What is a Framework Contract?
The Framework Contract (FWC) provides expertise for the implementation of External Aid. The FWC has no overall contract amount or maximum budget. The contract amount is fixed at the level of each individual assignment in the Specific Contract and the maximum value of a specific contract under this framework contract cannot exceed 999,999 EUR. The various Specific Contracts are governed by the EU External Aid Programmes under which they are financed. These EU External Aid Programmes include the European Development Fund (EDF), as well as the Programmes financed from the EU General Budget. The objective of the FWC is to provide, via individual assignments defined and contracted through Specific Contracts, expertise which can be mobilized at short notice.The beneficiary countries are mainly ACP (Africa-Caribbean-Pacific) countries but also the countries of the ENPI (European Neighborhood policy), ALA (Asia and Latin America) countries, candidates and potential candidates to join the European Union.
