Question details
Points II.22.4(d) and I.5.3 of the draft Framework Contract and point 3.2.5 and Annex of the tender specifications.
The draft Framework Contract mentions at point II.22.4(d) that daily subsistence allowance for travels is reimbursed at flat rates, this is a typical provision of also other Commission service contracts where travel, lodging and subsistence are reimbursed by the contracting authority in order to cover with a flat amount local transportation at meeting location, meals, etc. However, in Annex 5 of the tender specifications, only ceilings for hotel expenses are listed and no flat rates for subsistence allowance is mentioned. Can you please clarify the amount(s) of daily allowance contractor's staff will be entitled of as reimbursable expense from the contracting authority as per the provisions of the Framework Contract?
