Question details
Section 12 – Performance, of the Tender Specifications, page 12, mentions:
‘Once the framework service contract has been signed, the contractor must be able to offer editors with the required skills and experience to carry out the requested tasks within five calendar days after having received an order form.’ Can you please confirm whether this sentence means that an editor must be assigned to start the requested tasks within five calendar days, or that an editor must finish the requested tasks within five calendar days?
19/03/2015
The period of five days refers to the time granted to the contractor to assign one or more editors with the appropriate skills and competence to match the requirements of the tasks to be performed. The period of implementation of the tasks will be specified in the order form taking into account the nature and complexity of the requested tasks, and it will start to run on the date both parties would have signed the order form, unless otherwise specified in the order form. Please note that the reference to calendar days in section 12 of the tender specifications shall actually be construed as a reference to working days.
