- a combination of the forms referred to in points (1), (2) and (3).
Grants shall not exceed an overall ceiling expressed in terms of absolute value.
ITER Calls for Tenders are directly issued by ITER and are simultaneously forwarded to the 7 Domestic Agencies. Firms replying to these Calls for Tenders are therefore subject to world-wide competition. Procurement procedures are usually restricted, starting with an initial Call for Nominations
