Comunicato da ITER:

The ITER Organization (IO) has implemented exceptional measures in order to help companies to withstand this critical COVID-19 situation such as:

• Guidance established on exceptional IO procedures to manage remotely the Procurement Process and approval of Contracts with no delay (any and all paper flow processes replaced by electronic equivalent processes);
• Bids submitted in electronic format;
• Tender Evaluation Boards to meet by teleconference and evaluation report validated electronically;
• Relaxation of tender submission dates;
• Acceptance of Suppliers signed scanned Contracts, Agreements, Purchase or Work or Task Orders (and regularization of original documents after the crisis);
• IO Electronic signatures for all Contracts, Agreements, Purchase or Work or Task Orders (will be implemented soon);
• Extra sanitary measures implemented on the site to maintain highest standard of health and the safety conditions of our work places for all our team members and business partners;
• Systematic review of Work executed on site and except for critical worksite works, suppliers informed that the IO can accept remote work;
• Suppliers requested to present contingency plan and discussed collaboratively with the intent to mitigate schedule and cost impacts;
• Although Payments still require original invoices to be sent on paper, in case of difficulties, the IO recommends to use online printing services like (https://www.laposte.fr/lettre-en-ligne) to have their pdf invoices delivered, on paper, to the IO.
