We would like to advise you to read carefully the tender specifications. REPLY question 1: As stated in several parts of the tender specifications, submission of national reports by EU-Member States is due on 31 July 2019 at latest but an EU-database as a basis for the population status assessments under task 1.2 will only be available in November 2019 (see p.18 of the tender specifications). For non-EU Member States it is for the contractor to collect the data (see description of task 3.1). REPLY question 2: EU Member States will report via the Common Data Repository (CDR) in reportnet as part EIONET (https://www.eionet.europa.eu/reportnet). It is for the Commission to remind Member States in case of delays. Once the national reports are available in reportnet, they are available to the contractor as well. For non-EU countries it is for the contractor to ensure the data are made available in the format needed and in time. There will be the possibility to upload also non-EU data on reportnet. REPLY question 3: The description of Task 3.2. (starting on p.21 of the tender specifications) explains what are the tasks and the deliverables. The deliverables are also described under the chapter “Deliverables”, point 5 (see p.24 of tender specifications). The task description on p. 21/22 also specifies “Produce a Red List publication and publish it together with more detailed background information (fact-sheets per species, etc.) on the dedicated Commission website in compliance with Commission requirements for publication on the internet16 or on the EEA’s BISE portal. http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/conservation/species/redlist_en.htm https://biodiversity.europa.eu/” The publication costs should be calculated by the tenderer as part of the offer. REPLY question 4: The tender specifications do not require the document to be translated in the different EU languages. All deliverables should be in English language only (see p.23).
