• Specify and justify the selection of information sources such as databases and other resources proposed to gather the relevant information; 5 points 

• Provide details of the methods proposed to map activities, identify overlaps, knowledge gaps, challenges and blockers in relation to Objective 3, 4 and 5, and to perform the prioritization of working areas and possible partners; 5 points 

• Provide convincing evidence to ensure that the activities and milestones identified are feasible; 5 points 

• Describes the methods/tools to identify communication opportunities; 3 points 

• Provide a logical and well-structured step by step explanation of methodology; 5 points 

3. PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ORGANISATION OF THE TASKS WITHIN PROJECT TEAM AND RESPECT OF TIMELINES (max. 20 points – minimum threshold 60% i.e. 12/20 to pass minimum quality threshold for this criterion) 

This is to assess the extent to which the team set-up is suitable for the implementation of the assignment and to meet the agreed deadlines for deliverables. More specifically 

## the tenderer should provide: 

• Clear and detailed information on distribution of the tasks among the project team; in case of joint offer & subcontractors, clarity on who does what, when and why (justify why the partner/subcontractor is proposed to do the particular task/work-package); 5 points 

• Clarity of organization of project into work packages, including project phases, timelines, milestones, deliverables, providing a Gantt chart; 10 points 

• Clear and detailed information on the frequency and type of communication with EFSA and internal team communication (in case of joint offers & subcontractors also the frequency and type of communication between partners and/or subcontractor), the role of project leader in the coordination and tasks allocation in relation to the methodology and tools proposed. 5 points 

4. RISK MANAGEMENT (10 points - minimum threshold 60% i.e. 6/10 to pass minimum quality threshold for this criteria) 

This is to assess the risk management awareness of the tenderer, in particular the ability to identify any potential risks to the achievement of the project objectives, assess risk impact & likelihood, and ability to foresee effective mitigating actions. The tenderer should: 

• Identify risks associated with the proposed methodology, technical problems, and project management issues (e.g. (e.g. measures to ensure meeting deadlines, and mitigation strategies for continuity of the service in case of absence of the member of the team) which might appear during the implementation of the assignment; 5 points 

• Propose risk mitigation actions and explain their likely effectiveness; 5 points 

5. MEASURES TO GUARANTEE QUALITY OF DELIVERABLES (10 points - minimum threshold 60% i.e. 6/10 to pass minimum quality threshold for this criteria)
