A total of 53 different European companies attended F4E’s information meeting to present the Project Management Framework contract. The idea behind this initiative was to provide interested companies with basic administrative and technical information related to the forthcoming Call for Tender which will cover support to the F4E Project Office and ITER Project Teams in terms of configuration control and system engineering, risk and cost management, project management tools, export control and CE directives.
The Information Day held on 12 July in Barcelona, featured presentations from F4E’s Business Intelligence, Project Office and Procurement teams. In addition, interested companies were able to arrange private meeting sessions with F4E representatives in order to get answers to their specific questions.
The Call for Tender for the Project Management Framework Contract is scheduled to be launched by October this year.
Presentations from the Information day are available on F4E’s Industry Portal.
