EFCA publishes guidance on winning EU-financed development projects

EFCA is pleased to announce its latest publication, entitled “Introduction for engineering consultancies on tendering for EU development assistance”.

Written by practitioners for (future) practitioners, it explains the way the European Commission implements development assistance and shows the priority areas of EU development funding and the processes by which projects are identified. It sets out key steps in the process from the identification of tender opportunities through to the development of tenders and their evaluation. In each of these steps, it offers practical advice to engineering consultancies. Moreover, it complements existing guidance as the industry itself highlights points for consideration by firms wishing to move into development cooperation.

The booklet is fully consistent with the relevant EU legal provisions. It was entirely reviewed by the EuropeAid Cooperation Office, and carries a foreword from Director General Koos Richelle, who welcomed the EFCA initiative.

This valuable publication is free to EFCA members, and is sold at EUR 25 to non-members. The printed version is out now, and a digital version of the publication will be available shortly. Future updates will also be published in digital form.

EFCA thanks the members of the European External Aid Committee for their collaboration in this initiative.
