Raise a DAI for the purchase with the Contractor, in accordance with the contractual prices and budget ceiling. In particular, add DR number in the appropriate field and the framework contract reference in the field “contract”.

Tips: Guidelines on how to complete a DAI can be found in the e-learning for the procurement of supplies < 200kCHF.

Process the DAI in EDH and release the order.

Acceptance of the order in CERN’s e-Procurement platform. Submit comments if any.

Amend the order in case Contractor’s comments are valid.

Tips:  Acknowledging a delay does not mean that it is accepted as contractual penalties may still apply as of the original delivery date. In this respect, if necessary, the Technical Officer should consider maintaining the initial delivery date to maintain pressure on the Contractor and be delivered as soon as possible. The Technical Officer should not accept a new delivery date without having priory discussed with the Procurement Officer.
