Have reached the following understandings concerning the following Category B Project entitled:

“Collaborative Procurement of Ammunition”
( “CPoA”)


2.  Objective and Scope
2.1.  The availability of ammunition, as well as the associated stockpiles, are recognised by EU Member
States as a critical operational shortfall. This affects the readiness of Member States' armed forces and their
ability to fulfil their missions.
The overall objective of the Project is to support contributing Members (cMs) in their efforts to acquire
ammunition. 
2.2.  The specific objective of the Project is to conduct collaborative procurement, on behalf of the cMs
and in support of implementation of Council Decisions, of different ammunition types and calibers with
EDA  acting  as  the  contracting  authority,  management  body,  and  Ordering  Entity  (OE).  Collaborative
procurement of ammunition can produce significant cost savings. Moreover, collaborative demands and
procurement can improve the security of the supply chains, optimise delivery times and facilitate better and
more efficient management of stocks.
2.3.  The  Project  will  address  the  different  types  of  ammunition,  including  the  components  for  the
ammunition, such as Tank Ammo, Artillery Ammo, Mortar Ammo, Auto Cannon Ammo, Small Arms
Ammo, and AnTk Ammo (refer to Annex 4). 
3.  Participation
This Project Arrangement (PA) is open to EDA’s pMS, as well as to all entities entitled to take part in
EDA’s ad hoc activities pursuant to Articles 20, 23, 24, and 25 of the Council Decision.
4.  Management and Governance of the PA
The management and implementation of the Project will be achieved by the following governance structure: 
-  The Project Arrangement Management Group (PAMG)  is the decision-making authority. 
-  The Project Working Group (PWG) is the expert group in the field of technical data concerning the
ammunition and/or related items to be procured under this PA. The PWG is subordinated to the
PAMG.

ensuing contractual instruments for the supply of ammunition, in accordance with EDA’s financial

PA N
o
BPRJ.CAP.1269 – CPoA 




         9

Each cM is entitled to task the EDA to procure a specific ammunition quantity, up to its forecasted total
amount under the FWA through a WO (Annex 3).
5.2.1.  Each FWA will contain relevant data and specifications on the specific type of ammunition and/or
related items to be ordered and supplied  (e.g. lot numbering, quality assurance, guarantee, packaging
requirements, template of the OF).
5.2.2.  When  EDA  receives  or initiates  a  WO requesting the procurement of a specific quantity of
ammunition and/or related items, EDA will distribute this information to  the PAMG representatives
in order to pool the demand. An OE may submit additional WOs within a deadline to be defined on
a case-by-case basis, depending on the underlying urgency of the WOs. EDA will consolidate all
WOs in a draft OF in due time. When needed, EDA will consult  PAMG representatives of cMs
which have placed a WO and/or are implementing a OF to deconflict and/or prioritize WOs. The OF
will then be concluded between the EDA and the contractor, according to the procedure set out in
the respective FWA.  
5.2.3.  Conditions of participation of cMs to acceptance tests conducted by the contractor and executed
for OF will be defined in the FWA. Costs implied for the cMs’ participation will be at their own
expense. Acceptance tests of the delivered items can be performed by each cM at its own cost and
discretion. If so, this can be specified in the FWA and will be finalised in the OF. 
5.2.4.  The supplies will be delivered by the contractor to the receiving cMs in accordance with the OF
as prescribed in the FWA.
5.2.5.  cMs will inform EDA on the good execution and any possible delay of delivery, production defect
or lack of conformity with the awarded quality of the delivered items. EDA in the latter cases, in
consultation with each concerned cM, will apply pertinent provisions as set out in the FWA and
handle possible indemnification proceedings on behalf of the concerned cMs and in accordance with
agreements in place to support the implementation of Council Decisions.
