Law offices will be able to bid for a lucrative tender from the Ministry of Economy for legal services and consulting with the 4-year contract award worth in the range of EUR 700, 000.
The Ministry is looking for a law company with the required level of expertise in dealing with EU funds in the hope that it will be able to avoid funds being withdrawn or lost due to improper management, as in the past, daily Hospodarske Noviny reported yesterday.
Slovakia has lost earmarked funding in the past because of the dubious way funding or tenders have been handled, and so the Ministry wants to prevent this happening again in future by outsourcing the legal aspects of drawing EU funds to the lucky winner of the tender.
