Subject
Technical proposal page limit
Question
We understand that the Technical proposal shall not exceed 80 pages in length (including annexes). The technical tender, however, requests some illustrations with examples (sub-criteria 1.5, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 4.3, 4.5). Some of these examples by default may take several pages long, therefore compromising the overall quality of the rest of the Technical proposal. For example, in 3.1 two QTM proposal examples are requested which are complete documents in themselves, as would be the example report in 4.5. Could EEAS please reconsider and allow all examples (as annexes) for the aforementioned sub-criteria (1.5, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 4.3 and 4.5) not count toward the 80-page limit?

We expect examples illustrating tenderers' answers. Those examples do not need to be complete documents but rather concise illustrations. However, we recognise that the examples of QTM proposal requested in award sub-criterion 3.1, as well as the example of Service Report requested in award sub-criterion 4.5, might be a bit longer. Therefore, these examples will not be counted within the 80-page limit.
