Tenders

Tender procedures for procurements for projects financed under EU external aid programmes are awarded according to strict rules. These help ensuring that suitably qualified contractors and grant beneficiaries are chosen without bias and that the best price-quality ratio or the best price is obtained, with the full transparency appropriate to the use of public funds.

Procedures established by the European Commission for procurement and award of grants under the relevant EU external aid programmes are consolidated in this Practical Guide. Any deviation from PRAG and its annexes requires either derogation or an exception from the relevant European Commission services in accordance with internal rules.

These procurements are done through decentralized/indirect management, which represents transfer of authority for the management of EU funds to the public administration, which is preceded by obtaining the confirmation of readiness (accreditation) by the European Commission.

Calls for delivering the offers will be published electronically on the website of the Directorate for Finance and Contracting of the EU Assistance Funds as well as, in dependence of the type of call, on the official website of the Delegation of the European Union to Montenegro and on the tender web portal of the Directorate General of the European Commission for International Cooperation and Development – Europaid.
