title: Study on progress achieved in the implementation by the EU of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the European disability strategy 2010–2020.

documentType: tenderNotice

description: The purpose of this contract is to collect relevant factual data and carry out objective analyses with a view to supporting the Commission in the preparation of the 1st EU report to the UN on the implementation of the Convention and of the progress report on the European disability strategy 2010–2020. Given the convergence of objectives, areas and methods between the EU disability strategy and the UN Convention, the collection of data and the analysis on the implementation of the Convention will be combined with the collection of data for the progress report on the first years of the strategy. The aim is to maximise synergies between the 2 interrelated exercises and avoid duplication of work. The objective of the contract is: 1. to conduct a study on the implementation and impact of disability provisions in EU legislation declared as EU competences in the Council Decision for conclusion of the UN Convention. The study will also address disability provisions in other existing legislation identified at a later stage or new relevant EU legislation; and 2. to compile a progress report of the first phase of implementation of the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 and provide conclusions and recommendations.

title: Supply of an Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer including installation and training.

description: The Food Safety and Quality Unit (JRC D.5) supports policy Directorate-Generals with scientific data and policy advice in food safety related matters. Research topics of high societal relevance, such as synthetic biology, food allergen detection and food fraud, require mass spectrometric measurements of highest quality. To enable such measurements in matrices as complex as foods and feeds, a mass spectrometer (MS) capable of a mass resolving power larger than 100 000, mass accuracy with errors smaller than 1 part per million (ppm), and broad dynamic range for accurate isotope ratio determinations is needed. All of that must be compatible with the time scale of modern liquid chromatography separations. The high mass resolving power will facilitate the detection of known and unknown substances while the high mass accuracy and the accurate isotope ratios will afford identification beyond reasonable doubt. Furthermore, the new MS shall provide sensitivities and precisions better than our current instruments. This is essential for the characterisation and certification of food and feed reference materials.

title: Relaunch of 'A short-term sectoral-based anticipatory system for labour market trends and skill needs'.

description: The aim of the project is to build up a short-term sectoral-based anticipatory system (SBAS) for labour market trends and skill needs at European level. To this end the framework contract will be implemented through 3 work assignments (order forms) aiming at: (1) developing a suitable SBAS prototype(s) based on a well-defined model, and on a feasibility assessment of the implementation of the system; (2) final implementation and validation of the selected model including the institutional and managerial aspects; (3) further refinement of the system, draft guidelines on all the methodological and operational aspects, knowledge transfer, and technical and research assistance at the operational phase. The nature of the framework contract implies that the implementation of each subsequent work assignment is conditional on the acceptance by Cedefop of the deliverables and approaches proposed by the contractor in previous work assignment/s. In case the feasibility assessment yields a negative result (1st work assignment/order form), within the scope of the following work assignment/s (order forms) the contracting authority might ask the contractor to concentrate solely on developing a 'SBAS toolkit' (summarising concepts, methodologies, data and tools) that can be used as a reference model to support transfer of the most promising approaches to European Member States (EU-MSs).

awardCriteriaDetails:
1.1. Rationale of the project (understanding of the scope and expected outcomes of the project overall and of each of the 3 work assignments; suitable approach proposed; awareness and description of possible methodological and technical difficulties and constraints, anticipation of possible solutions; completeness of the services offered compared to the framework template described in Section 5.1. of the tender specification): 30
1.2. Method and tools (congruence and reliability of the methodologies, techniques and tools proposed; innovative character of the approaches, understanding of the requirements and expected outputs for the specific tasks, communication materials): 35
2.1. Project management and team work (function and role of the team leader; management structure; allocation of tasks among experts to ensure experience mix and coverage of complementary subjects based on professional experience and qualifications of the expert team; communication with Cedefop and reporting): 20
2.2. Quality assurance and risk management (tools and processes to be used taking into account the specific characteristics of the project; back-up/replacement arrangements; adequate consideration of possible hindrances): 10
2.3. Organisation of the work process (timetable and logical framework of activities): 5
