The European Union Institutions (EUI) directly influence the creation of national public tenders through frameworks for public procurement, such as the Public Procurement Directives (Directive 2014/23/EU, Directive 2014/24/EU, and Directive 2014/25/EU).
Additionally, the tenders that EUI publish are often used as examples by national public administrations.
Therefore, it is valuable for a service manager to understand how the EUI contractually manages professional services contracts.
This post focus on the Time and Means type of contract.
