Evaluations are commissioned in compliance with the legislation governing public procurement.
The legislation on public procurement governs the commissioning of evaluations.
The FOPH awards evaluation contracts on the basis of a competition, employing an invitation procedure in most cases. With this procedure, the contracting authority determines which potential tenderers are to be invited to submit an offer directly, without issuing a call for tenders. The contracting authority must (if possible) invite at least three tenderers to submit an offer, and at least one of these must be non-local.
