Management and the quality management model of the German University of
Administrative Sciences in Speyer. CAF has been specifically designed for
the development of TQM in public-sector organisations, starting with a
self-assessment of their performance. Since the launch of the first version
of CAF in 2000, till the most current version in 2020, more than 4,000

implemented this quality framework. This training will be focused on the

Cohesion Policy Project Appraisal 2021-2027, CBA and Economic Appraisal
Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Procedures Master Class (29-30 November 2022)
Competitive dialogue and negotiated procedures are difficult to implement
effectively but are essential for complex infrastructure and ICT projects
and to modernise public services in the current fiscal climate. In the 2014
Public Procurement Directives Competitive Dialogue and the new Competitive
Procedure with Negotiation are easier to justify than in the former
directives and thus are more readily available for use. The rules for the
two procedures are different and the procedural rules for the Competitive
Procedure with Negotiation are more detailed than the former rules of
procedures including negotiation. Competitive Dialogue was also been
introduced as an available procedure in the utilities sectors in Directive
2014/25/EU.
This very practical Master Class will give you the opportunity to receive
case-specific advice on the issues arising in your own procurement from our
experts and from other participants.

programmes: financial, compliance and performance audits. Each of them has
different objectives, addresses different audit questions and applies
different methodologies. This course is about the ambition of the EU to be
more results-oriented in the current programming period 2021–2027 using a
framework where performance and results are the keywords.
This highly practical course presents all aspects of each stage of the
performance audit process. It includes the unique feature of providing an
insight into how the European Court of Auditors plan, prepare and implement
their audit assignments, covering real-life audit case studies and
experiences of the Court’s teams.
It explains how performance will be measured during the 2021–2027 period,
has some unique features and insights with regard to the analysis of costs
and benefits, and explains in detail the audit methodologies and tools
used. It also demonstrates the strength of key performance indicators, and
how to use them. The new aspect is that, when applying for this course, you
