Proposal for the Award of a Contract for the Administrative Services of the CERN Health Insurance Scheme

This document concerns the award of a contract for the administrative services of the CERN Health Insurance Scheme. Following a market survey carried out among sixty firms in 14 Member States, a call for tenders (IT-2608/DSU) was sent on 11 December 1998 to four firms and one consortium in five Member States. By the closing date, CERN had received two tenders from two Member States. The Finance Committee is invited to agree to the negotiation of a contract for the Administrative services of the CERN Health Insurance Scheme with AUSTRIA COLLEGIALITÄT VERSICHERUNGEN, the lowest bidder. The contract will be for an overall amount not exceeding 5 900 000 Swiss francs, not subject to revision, for an initial period of three years from 1 January 2000. The contract will include an option for two one-year extensions beyond the initial three-year period, subject to revision.
