Dettagli della domanda
Clarification
1. Please can you confirm the technical versus financial evaluation weighting since this is given as 40/60 and 60/40 at different places in the documentation. We assume it is 60% for the technical and 40% for the financial. 2. We note that the documents state that there will be no be pre-financing or interim payments made. Given that the framework could last for 4 years with costs incurred upfront and involving subcontractors, please can you clarify what the intended arrangements for invoicing would be and whether you would consider upfront and/or interim payments. 3. Please can you confirm the numbers of deliverables envisaged per year/per 4 years to avoid any ambiguity. For example as the financial tables references 8 table-top and 8 fully-fledged exercises over the 4 years we are assuming this means that you require 2 each of these per year and that “biannual” means every other year (i.e. 2 over the framework)? 4. For the fully-fledged exercise and table-top exercise, please can you clarify what is meant by “in this sequence” in Section 5 of the ToR. Are you envisaging that the table-top exercises are held after the fully-fledged exercises and during the same session (back-to-back), or are these separated in time?
