Procurement

COST is committed to make best use of public money.

Therefore, procurement at COST is transparent, fair, non-discriminatory, implements equal treatment of potential suppliers, and pursues best value for money.

This happens through abiding strictly by Belgian law on public procurement and EU treaties principles (more info on the applicable legislation at www.publicprocurement.be/fr
