The chosen split gives access to various levels of expertise and availability which are necessary to ensure delivery of the tasks at hand.
The contracts with AmsterCHEM and Céondo GmbH have been approved by CO-LaN Management Board.
They have both covering the period from April 1, 2020 till December 31, 2020. AmsterCHEM will supply up to 100 man-hours and Céondo GmbH up to 125 man-hours over the period. CO-LaN and the contractors will agree subsequently on a number of Contractor Work Authorisation Forms detailing work to be done and corresponding budget allocated.
