Paragraph 4
4. Takes note of the Court’s finding that all payments pertaining to a three-year IT framework contract as well as related specific contracts (EUR 40,821 in 2018) are irregular since the contract worth EUR 450,000 with a company that had provided the same services under a previous framework contract was signed following a negotiated procedure but without prior publication of a contract notice; reminds that the Financial Regulation only allows for the use of a simplified procedure under specific circumstances which were not substantiated here; acknowledgedeems the answer of Eurojust, stressing the need to use a negotiated procedure given that a change of supplier would have resulted in technical and operational difficulties;, to be unsatisfactory and calls on Eurojust to take actions to prevent an over-dependency on a single IT supplier with a view to award future contracts in line with procedures foreseen by the Financial Regulation;
