This project is paid with money from the EU and there are several rules to act on. If there
is need for commercial parts or products three different offers from three different
companies have to be requested. This three offers are opened at the same time and
afterwards they are discussed which one is the best. After the evaluation emails are sent to
the two other companies that another offer will be taken. Now the companies have three
weeks time to make a better offer if a second offer is sent this one has to be taken.
It is clear to see that this bureaucratic procedure is very time consuming and makes
working much more difficult than it would be without.
