Tenders

Contracts are gained via Invitation To Tender (ITT), issued by TIA.

Refer to the Working with TIA link to find out more on the ITT process.

If you would like to respond to a currently open ITT you will have to register first as a 'New User' with our EMITS (Electronic Mail Invitation to Tender) system.

Click on the link below to find out which ITTs are currently open within ARTES 5.1. An Open Call for Proposals has been issued for ARTES 5.2.  This is listed in EMITS under number AO/1-6000.

Intended ITTs are planned to be issued in the near future. ITTs with a star (*)  next to its title are classified as Priority 2 activities and will only be initiated on the explicit request of at least one delegation.
