Procurement and partnership contracts funded by the European Commission
International IDEA accomplishes democracy-building activities all over the world with the support of European Union (EU) funding through restricted grants.
The Pillar Assessed Grant or Delegation Agreement (PAGoDA) is a grant funding mechanism from the European Union (EU). Organizations or entities who are assessed by the EU to comply with the required standard in terms of their internal accounting controls, procedures and systems can work under the indirect management mode with the EU.
In autumn 2015, International IDEA engaged an external auditor to carry out an EU pillar assessment and the assessment report was submitted to the EU in 2016.
In January 2017, International IDEA received formal notification that it had passed the standards required for all pillars assessed. International IDEA can now implement projects funded by the EU under PAGoDA /Indirect Management grant agreements.
View all procurement contracts under EU restricted grants valued at €15,000 and above.
In procuring goods and services, we uphold the key principles of open competition, transparency, equitable and unbiased selection, efficiency, and value for money.

In general International IDEA aims to complete the tender process between 12-16 weeks. However in some cases the process may take longer due to unforeseen circumstances or when the tender process spans a holiday period.
International IDEA notifies all bidders (successful and unsuccessful) by letter sent electronically.
Yes. International IDEA publishes the detail of contracts awarded through a tender process on its website. This is normally done on a quarterly basis.

However in some circumstances the contract template of the supplier/service provider may be used where it is more appropriate. In all cases the general conditions of this contract cannot be less onerous than those of International IDEA.
Currently International does not operate such a system. Vendors are either selected through a competitive or direct-sourced process depending on cost thresholds.
Currently there is no limit. Each submission is evaluated separately in accordance with the evaluation criteria outlined in the RfP.
No. Unless it is specifically stated in the RfP , International IDEA accepts bids from suppliers and service providers all over the world.
