Tender Specifications - ECHA - Europa

ECHA may define for off site specific contracts, which profiles of the Contractor personnel required
for the execution of a specific contract (the “project team”), including subcontractors, must be
working so that the time difference between the work hours at the place of performance and the
ECHA normal working hours does not exceed two hours. This is required in order to facilitate
efficient operative management of the specific contract by ECHA and in view of the potential high
amount of interaction between ECHA and the Contractor personnel during the implementation of
the contract.
1.17 Training
As a rule, the Agency will not take charge of the training of the Contractor’s staff. Hence, it is the
Contractor’s obligation to make sure that its staff members working for the Agency have the
relevant knowledge and experience relevant for the tasks.
In principle, the Contractor is requested to plan at least five (5) training days per year for its staff
working for the Agency.
In exceptional cases and on special request of the Agency, staff of the Contractor may follow an
informatics training course organized by the Agency. However, the time spent on training will not
be paid to the Contractor by the Agency. The same applies for any other related costs (e.g. travel
cost).
If the Agency asks the Contractor’s staff to follow a non-informatics training necessary for the work
(e.g. business procedures or application functionalities), it is considered as a normal working day
paid by the Agency.
