All procedures for procurement or purchase of goods, services and works and the call for proposals for the award of financial support to third parties must be in compliance with the general terms of the donor (PRAG2021). Stricter procedures might be applied, if required by national regulations or internal policies, but in any case, they shall be consistent with the terms laid down by the donor. The parties must proceed with purchases after an evaluation of the offers or the proposals, by ensuring compliance with the principles of quality, economy and efficiency and will be responsible for filing tax exemption requests. All eligible expenses are taxes and/or VAT exempt, whether the organization is exempt or entitled to taxes and/or VAT reimbursement.
