Question details
Lot2
Dear all we submitted some questions on 23/08/2022 but we didn't receive an answer. could you please respond as soon as possible to have time to ask for additional clarification, if needed. Thank you. Here again the questions: 1- In relation to Lot2, we would like to have the following clarifications: a) Could you clarify if the unit costs that should be presented in Annex 6 would cover only the expert fees (net of travel and accommodation costs) or should include all relevant costs to deliver a half day event/activities (target capacity building, tailored training….) as detailed in the ToR b) In Pillar 2, the contractor could be required to “organize” travel and accommodation for participants and logistics. Could you confirm that the contractors will be not required to cover (pay) those costs? c) Could you confirm that travel and accommodation (both for experts and participants), and venue costs should not be included in any of the cells of Annex 6 (unit costs, surcharges, Price quote table)? d) To get comparable prices with other tenderers, could you specify the type of service (online/in presence), number of participants, number of experts of category II involved, to be considered for each of the services in table “2- Price quote table” of Annex 6? Otherwise please clarify how is it possible to define a price per services in absence of information on the above variables e) Table “2- Price quote table” of Annex 6 does not include any reference to the preparation and management of the Community of Practice. Do we have to include the COP costs in Pillar2 -Service 3? If yes, should the 10 meetings foreseen per year include also the COP meetings or they will be additional events? f) According to the contract notice, the maximum estimated value for the FC under Lot2 is 2,500,000.00 EUR. Would this amount include all costs related to the service such as travel and accommodation cost of participants and experts, venue ..?
