Description

Conclusion of framework contracts for linguistic verification as well as correction of spelling and typographical errors in conclusions translated into French or written in French by the Advocates-General of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The framework contracts will be for a term of 1 year and may be renewed by tacit agreement for 3 further periods of 1 year. A classification list of contractors will be drawn up based on the award criteria. This list determines the initial order in which contractors, based on their production capacity, will be contacted to be offered specific work. The classification will be periodically reviewed so that it reflects the actual quality of the services provided. During contract performance, the classification may also be modified following the termination of existing framework contracts. The contractor must perform linguistic verification work and correct spelling and typographical errors (in French) within the given deadlines. This involves the following tasks: — correcting conclusions translated into French or written in French by the Advocates-General of the Court of Justice of the European Union, — checking compliance with the Court's internal style rules and conventions, — implementing the Court's vade mecum regarding quotation, typography and layout rules. In carrying out these tasks, the contractor shall: — observe the confidentiality of the (judicial) documents sent by the Court, — deliver within the deadline agreed and specified on the order form. The texts to be corrected cover a range of legal subjects relating to the cases brought before the Court. Texts vary as to their length and the urgency with which corrections are required. Examples of the types of texts to be corrected/verified can be found on the Court's website at: http://www.curia.europa.eu Contractors will work in a computerised environment. They will play an essential role in the process of checking the quality of conclusions translated into French or written in French by the Advocates-General of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The quality of the services provided under the framework contracts must be such that the text may be used immediately, whether by publication or otherwise.
