The European Commission publishes a wide range of Calls for Proposals each year. The Calls seek proposals for projects from different institutions, NGOs, civil society groups and individuals concerned with the different policy areas of the European Union. Funding is made available for proposals that satisfy the necessary conditions. Click here  for a Guide to Doing Business with the European Commission (Tips for potential contractors).
Further information on Public Procurement - Calls for Tender can be found on the TED database.
 In October 2010, the European Commission launched the e-CERTIS data base, a free, web-based tool to help companies and contracting organisations cope with the documentation demands encountered when tendering for public contracts in the EU. This includes:
- different documents required when tendering for a public contract in another country;
- certificates most frequently requested in procurement procedures across the EU to understand what information is being requested/provided and identify mutually acceptable equivalents.
Further information on e-Certis is available here.
