The system of Framework Contracts provides the European Union with a simplified and rapid system for selecting experts for a large number of consultant services, without having to go through the complex process of a full public tender each time. Assignments are generally short-term and typically range from a few weeks to few months. Within this framework, IHRN is routinely invited to provide expertise for missions in all countries benefiting from the EC’s external aid. The areas covered by Lot 7 range from justice sector reform, police, security sector reform, support to civil society, elections and Parliament etc (details of those Lot7 areas are here).
IHRN has been commissioned by its consortium to provide Quality Assurance Management (QAM) for Lot 7. IHRN is responsible for designing and ensuring all its systems and procedures are optimised to deliver the best quality independent advice for the EC.
We are delighted to have been again short-listed by the EC in Spring 2013 for the new Lot 7 Tender process that will operate to 2017.
In preparation for the final stage of that Tender process, we are now selecting a sample set of CVs demonstrating the range of expertise we can call on in the range of subject areas covered by Lot 7.
