1. Scope of Work and Management Structure

Project evaluation is a process of assessment of the project applications according to the procedures and criteria, scoring and ranking systems, approved by the Joint Monitoring Committee (JMC).

The project evaluation has three main phases:
First, opening session carried out by the Joint Technical Secretariat (JTS). Basic information on each submitted project is recorded in an electronic registration system.

Second, administrative compliance and eligibility check carried out by the JTS. Administrative compliance and eligibility check examines the compliance of the project with the specific requirements of the respective Call for Proposals (CfPs).

Third, technical/quality evaluation carried out by independent assessors from both Bulgaria and Turkey contracted by the Programme Managing Authority (MA). Quality evaluation assesses if the proposed projects are relevant to the priorities and measures of the territorial cooperation programmes and assesses the projects in view of project planning, management and implementation from both the technical and the financial points of view.

Call for assessors is held in both partnering countries. Joint Monitoring Committee (JMC) approves a list of selected assessors from both sides. Depending on the needs of every definite call for proposals the assessors from both countries are contracted by MA
An Assessment Working Group (AWG) is established for each Call for Proposals (CfPs), chaired by MA and secretarially supported by JTS. JTS organizes the assessment process and presents Tender Evaluation Report (TER) to the JMC for selection and decision.
