1. The tenderer must not run the pilot phase (testing) in all COSME countries (page 8). 2. The contractor is asked to review existing training programmes across Europe (COSME countries) and outside, particularly in the US, in order to create a training programme. The tenderer must select minimum 10 High Education Institutions for testing the training programme. The testing institutions will come from across COSME countries (p. 14 Geographical scope of the tasks). The testing institutions will be identified, within and/or outside the awarded consortium. (page 11 of ToR). In the offer, the tenderer must provide reasoning for selection of countries that corresponds to the methodology proposed (p.28). 3. http://ec.europa.eu/growth/smes/cosme_en and http://ec.europa.eu/DocsRoom/documents/31602 (p. 14).
