The European Commission's Directorate-General for International Partnerships, or DG INTPA, has announced a new pot of funding via a new framework contract, with an estimated total value of €680 million (about $725 million) up for grabs.
The existing framework contract is due to close at the end of May. The announcement of the replacement framework came in July 2022 and was confirmed last month.
There are some major changes that appear aimed at increasing bidding opportunities for smaller firms, but which seem likely to significantly pile onto the workload for officials managing the bid.
