Compared to the current framework agreement 'Project Flex', the management wishes to make a number of adjustments. Under the current framework agreement, the “financial advice on mergers and acquisitions” and “financial advice” plots are close to each other and in some cases overlap. These two plots are therefore merged into a single “financial advisory” parcel. The Financing Directorate also wishes to add a lot of technical and specialist expertise to the new Framework Agreement, 'Project Flex II'.

Lot 1 concerns strategic advice such as advice on the strategy of State shareholdings and restructuring or reorganisation issues. The aim is to conclude a Framework Agreement with five (5) Suppliers to provide strategic advice.

Lot 2 concerns financial advice on (equity) transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, privatisations and nationalisations. In addition, this concerns the provision of financial advisory services specifically aimed at corporate finance, valuation issues and the assessment of investments from a financial perspective. The aim is to conclude a Framework Agreement with six (6) Suppliers for the provision of financial advice.

Lot 3 concerns technical and specialist advice such as advice on the technical aspects of energy transport and infrastructure. The aim is to conclude a Framework Agreement with five (5) Suppliers for the provision of technical and specialist advice.
