Prior notice on ex-post evaluation of competitive and sustainable growth projects
The European Commission has given prior information on a call for tenders for ex-post evaluation of the results and of the anticipated socio-economic impact of up to 1,500 finished projects from the competitive and sustainable Growth programme. The awarding authority intends to issue a call for tenders for a five-year period contract for an estimated value of 4,500,000 euro. The service consists in assisting the Commission in carrying out an ex-post evaluation of the results and of the anticipated socio-economic impact of up to 1,500 finished projects from the competitive and sustainable growth programme (RTD, demonstration and combined projects, thematic networks and concerted actions, and collaborative research projects, in the areas of innovative processes, products and organisation, sustainable mobility and intermodality, land transport and marine technologies, aeronautics, materials and their technologies for production and transformation, and measurements and testing). This evaluation aims to produce information documents on the achievements and anticipated impact of the programme, to identify projects which would benefit from innovation support measures, to identify factors contributing to the success or failure of projects and to identify areas of high and lower impact from funding by the Commission.For further information, please contact: European Commission Directorate-General Research Directorate G Office MO75 6/18 Rue de la Loi/Wetstraat 200 B-1049 Brussels Tel: +32-2-295 9312 Fax: +32-2-299 1848 E-mail: stefaan.vandendriessche@ec.europa.eu
