OPSYS onboarding for FPI Election Observation Missions (EOM) Framework Contractors

From 1st September 2023, the OPSYS ecosystem will be used to implement the Specific Contracts under Election Observation Missions (EOM) Framework Contracts across all stages of implementation. This includes requests for services, clarifications of requests, submission of offers, evaluation, signature of Specific Contracts, management of the contracts (amendments and administrative orders), reporting and payments.

All the contracts and requests for services launched before 1st of September will continue to be handled as they are currently. For a transition period, there will be two different methods of operation.

To provide clarity on this matter, please join this introductory awareness webinar on 5th of September 2023 from 14:30 to 16:30 Brussels time.
