Service contracts

The re-tendering of existing Service contracts is nearing completion. Some amendments to the remaining Service contracts will have to be negotiated for 2000. The Finance Committee is asked to take note of revised expenditure in 1999 and of expected expenditure in the year 2000. The total estimated amount for the year 2000 for the contracts referred to in this document is expected to reach 72 210 000 Swiss francs at 1999 prices. The Finance Committee is invited: - to approve the proposed expenditure for the extension of contracts for which the estimated amount for the year 2000 exceeds 750 000 Swiss francs (highlighted in Table I, which provides details of the contracts concerned, namely those under references 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 16, 17 and 20); - to take note of the recently tendered contract presented for adjudication at this meeting (see Table I, reference 15), for which the amount foreseen for the year 2000 reflects a change of the work scope and of contract; - to take note that the total estimates for the year 2000 for the contracts under preparation following calls for tenders (see Table I, references 12 and 13) allow for the likely expenditure in the case of a possible change of contract. Final estimates will be confirmed at the time of adjudication of the new contracts; - to take note of the Service contracts for which the annual amount is less than 750 000 Swiss francs but exceeds 100 000 Swiss francs.
