What changed since DIGIT-TM II 🤔 DIGIT-TM III on top of carrying a bigger budget allocation than its predecessor, it also runs on a slightly different mechanism for deciding who actually gets the work once the framework is signed, and that mechanism is what determines how contractors compete for the next four years. 📝 DIGIT-TM II (cascade system): consortiums were ranked in advance, and each new staffing request went to whichever consortium sat next in line, with roughly two weeks to fill it. Once a company secured its position in the cascade, most of the competitive pressure disappeared. The real contest happened once, at the bidding stage, and rarely again. 📝 DIGIT-TM III (reopening of competition): every Service Request that DG DIGIT or another participating body issues triggers a mini-competition among all contractors awarded on the relevant lot. 📈 Evaluation formula: quality weighted at 70 percent, price at 30 percent, applied to every Service Request. 🏆 Contractors per lot: each lot can carry as many as 20 framework contractors, all of whom compete against each other for every assignment, for the full four years of the contract. 💡 Winning a place on DIGIT-TM III opens the door to multiple smaller competitions still ahead, one for every Service Request across the next four years.
