Title	Multiple framework contract for the support to structural reforms in EU Member States.
Description	The Union has identified the implementation of structural reforms as being among its policy priorities to set the recovery on a sustainable path, unlock the growth potential to strengthen the adjustment capacity, and support the process of convergence. To help EU Member States effectively design and implement such reforms, the Commission set up the Structural Reform Support Service (SRSS) in July 2015. The SRSS coordinates and provides specialised technical support to EU Member States on request. Against this background, the subject of the framework contract is the provision of services to the Commission and, in particular, the SRSS to support the design and implementation of institutional, administrative and growth-sustaining structural reforms in EU Member States. The support will be funded by the structural reform support programme (SRSP) (Regulation (EU) 2017/825 of the European Parliament and of the Council — Official Journal of 19.5.2017).
