Paragraph 8
8. Notes with concern the finding of the Court, which also relates to the follow- up of the previous year’s findings, that the Agency irregularly prolonged the duration of a framework contract for the provision of business travel services by signing amendments in 2018 and 2019 after the contract had expired, rendering the amendments and related payments irregular; notes the Agency’s reply that the prolongation in 2019 was the result of a conscious business decision to preserve business continuity and did not constitute a weakness in ex-ante control and that, furthermore, an internal audit was to commence in the fourth quarter of 2020 with a view to obtaining additional assurances on the Agency’s contract management approach; calls on the Agency to improve the regularity of transactions and to strengthen accordingly contract management and ex-ante controls;

Amendment 15 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
9. Notes that, according to the Court’s report, for the procurement of furniture, accessories and related services, the terms used in the documents for the call for tender were not specific enough, undermining the competitive nature of the tendering procedure; notes, moreover, that the Agency did not sufficiently check the accuracy of underlying prices and the calculation of discounts applied for the non-standard items before submitting the order form to the contractor; notes that, according to the Agency’s reply, the tender documentation included the subject matter of the procurement and the applicable exclusion, selection and award criteria, thus allowing for competitiveness and, with regard to the discount given by the contractor, the fact that the contractor had offered a higher discount than the standard rate included in the contract and the Agency thus acted in compliance with the principles of sound financial management, in line with the provisions of the contract; calls on the Agency to ensure that tendering specifications are comprehensive to allow fair and effective competition;
