ECHA/2020/666  Annex 1 to Tender Specifications  Technical Specifications Restricted  73 (77) use third-party support during the evaluation process. The third-party supporting ECHA  shall be bound by confidentiality as laid out in the NDA.  From a general point of view, all the information, reports and other documentation derived  from the contractual relationship between the contractor(s) and the Agency shall belong  to the Agency. The contractor(s) must in any case guarantee the confidentiality of this  information, including the details on the Agency’s net work infrastructure, and other  aspects related to the provided services.  More specifically, confidentiality obligations are laid down in Articles I.17, II.8 of the draft  Framework Contract (Annex 2 to the Tender Specifications) , as well as in the Non- Disclosure Agreement annexed to the Framework Contract (see Annex VII to the draft  Framework Contract). It is to be noted that this is the only NDA that the Agency and the  contractor(s) shall sign. In case changes to the NDA are needed, they must be  implemented only after receiving the express written agreement of the Agency.  In addition, the outside personnel authorised by the Agency to implement Article II.24.3  of the draft Framework Contract shall be bound by confidentiality, as laid out in the NDA.  The place of performance of the services under the Framework Contract shall be the  Contractor’s premises and/or ECHA’s premises, and any other place as agreed in a specific  contract depending on the nature of the tasks. By signing the FWC666, the Contractor  accepts to deliver the services at the place requested by ECHA, i.e. off-site and/or on-site  and in compliance with the existing applicable policies (e.g. Security).  The meetings will generally take place either at the Agency’s premises or b e held via  remote conferencing (web, phone, video), or exceptionally take place in any other place  as agreed in the specific contract.  When delivering application management services, which include the possibility of  significant components of extended service hours, the services within a specific contract  may be delivered from several different locations if deemed necessary by the Contractor.  The services must nevertheless be fully compliant with the security requirements defined  in these Specifications.  With respect to services (excluding Application Management):  Payments shall be made in accordance with Articles I.6, I.7, as well as II.21 and II.22 of  the draft Framework Contract, and as also detailed in the Specific Contracts.  The schedule and the procedure for approval of payments and the documents to be  submitted will be defined separately in each specific contract depending on the nature of  the tasks and duration of the given contract.
