Closed

By the present procurement procedure, EIT Urban Mobility, hereinafter being referred to as “EIT UM”, is expecting to appoint several audit firms (hereby being referred to as “the contractors “or ”the suppliers”) (min. 2 to max. 6) to conclude multiple service agreements for the realisation of the Certificate on the Financial Statements (CFS) Audits on expenditure incurred by a number of EIT beneficiaries and EIT KIC subgrantees across the EU and beyond. These entities differ in size, type of organisation and requested EIT funding. An overview of the population of the EIT beneficiaries and EIT KIC subgrantees will be provided upon request by sending an e-mail to procurement@eiturbanmobility.eu. Please note, the list of beneficiaries and subgrantees that require CFS audits provided at the time of this Request for Proposals (RfP) procedure is indicative and serves to help the potential suppliers to submit a qualitative offer. The final population of beneficiaries and subgrantees falling under CFS obligations for a reporting period and subject to the specific contracts to be signed may change. In the case of EIT beneficiaries /affiliated entities, the CFS is required by Article 24.2 of the Grant Agreement (GA) signed between the EIT and the respective KIC. The CFS procedures follow the Horizon Europe rules. The coordination of the CFS audits will be managed by EIT UM from Barcelona (Spain) who will be the client. The EIT as the Granting Authority might be involved during project execution. The collaboration resulting from this tender will be for 1 year and will cover the CFS audits of EIT beneficiaries and EIT KIC subgrantees under the EIT BP and XKIC grant agreements (GA) 2023-2025, MOC GAs 2025. In case of mutual satisfaction, the EIT UM could extend the agreement with an additional 1-year agreement under the exact same conditions and pricing. The extension will be announced with a written request to the tenderers and signing an extension of the service agreements. The deadlines indicated in this RfP and subsequently in the contracts with the individual audit companies are contractually binding. A penalisation scheme will be included in the subsequent contracts and will be automatically enforced in case of late or no provision of the contracted services.
