Work with us

A1: No. For this Request for Proposals you may only consider persons as a partner that are specifically appointed as partner by your firm and as such have full end-responsibility. The 10-year experience in the relevant field we require for a partner is the minimum number of years. Hence, a partner (appointed as such by your firm) with only 7 years of experience in the relevant field would not meet our standards for example. As another example: he same goes for a senior associate / manager (thus: still reporting to one of your firm’s partners) with 20 years of relevant experience.

A2: As for the scope of legal services relating to our educational activities, we refer to the description of these specific services in the Request for Proposals under “3. Scope of work – legal services for EIT InnoEnergy on a call-off basis”, on page 5 thereof. In addition to examples mentioned there, these legal services may see among other things to our offering of online and / or professional educational services, and to the way our MsC programme participants pay or finance their tuition fees.

A3: Reference is made to the description in the Request for Proposals under “3. Scope of work – legal services for EIT InnoEnergy on a call-off basis”, more specifically the following paragraph on page 6:

“Though the vast majority of the legal assistance sought by EIT InnoEnergy requires assessments under Dutch law and / or Belgian law, occasionally assistance might be needed involving the law of other jurisdictions, such as the jurisdictions of the co-locations. Tenderers are therefore asked to demonstrate that they either form part of an international alliance / network with presence at least in the jurisdictions of EIT InnoEnergy’s colocations and / or have offices in these jurisdictions. Selected Suppliers are also asked to demonstrate how invoicing of services rendered by their partners from alliances / networks will be invoiced.”
