    + April / May – ESC mandated tenders issued
        + need help with awarding and assessing
        + must not be CoI’d – so not from a company that participates
    + needed, but needs the exact skills? (Thorsten)
        + ~3 proposals to look into (Florian)
        + to check the deadlines, if the proposal makes sense from the technical
          point of view, if it is achieveble (Florian)
        + not the administrative side! - TDF will take care of that
        + then check of the deliverables, if it matches (Florian)
        + not expected from you that you’d be chasing the contractors or
          anything (Thorsten)
    + ie. need competent people to review the applications (Thorsten / Florian)
        + and simple feedback - “This is bad becauses XY” / “This is the right
          thing to do”
