EC external aid is given by means of either contracts to
provide services, supplies or works to beneficiary countries or grants
(generally for projects proposed by non-profit making organisations).
This aid is usually provided under one of the EC external aid
programmes and instruments such as the “ALA” Regulation establishing the legal
framework for the Community Co-operation for Asian and Latin American countries,
or under specific budget headings.
Contracts to provide services, supplies or works
Service, supplies and works contracts are awarded after a
tendering process on the basis of projects identified by the EU in conjunction
with beneficiary countries.
Grants
Grants are awarded for projects proposed to the EU by (in
general, non-profit-making) external organisations. Most projects are selected
for grants on the basis of calls for proposals. All details on procedures can be
retrieved from the
EuropeAid Cooperation Office website on contract procedures.
In particular, the website provides for manuals of
instructions, templates of various documents linked to the tender or proposal
process, besides standard models of contracts (special and general conditions).
Please note that you’ll find appropriate guidelines for applicants for call or
tender you wish to participate in announced on the
EuropeAid Cooperation Office website for external aid projects
