Article 55 Procurement procedures for works contracts

Works contracts with a value of EUR 5 000 000 or more shall be awarded by means of an international open tender procedure, or in view of the specific characteristics of certain works by means of a restricted tender procedure, following publication of a procurement notice which shall be published in all appropriate media beyond the programme area.

Work contracts with a value of EUR 300 000 or more but less than EUR 5 000 000 shall be awarded by means of an open tender procedure published in the programme area. Any eligible tenderer must be provided with the same opportunities as local firms.

Work contracts with a value of more than EUR 60 000 but less than EUR 300 000 shall be awarded by means of a competitive negotiated procedure without publication. The beneficiary shall consult at least three contractors of its choice and shall negotiate the terms of the contract with one or more of them.
