Cowater International (formerly Transtec) is leading this framework contract. Through specific contracts, it provides integrated logistical, administrative, financial and security support to the contracting authority in deploying EU electoral missions. This includes both Election Observation Missions (EU EOMs), which usually deploy 50-100 observers and electoral experts in third countries to observe the whole electoral process, and Election Assessment Team (EATs) missions, which deploy electoral experts in third countries with a volatile security environment to observe and assess the electoral process. This involves the organisation of travel, insurance and accommodation to the members of the EU election missions, provision of necessary local services, office and communication facilities, security support including in case of emergency or eventual evacuation, payment of fees, per diems and allowances.
