This practical guide on contract procedures for European Union external action (PRAG) provides contracting authorities, on the one hand, and tenderers, candidates, applicants and contractors, on the other hand, with practical assistance in preparing and implementing procurement and grant contracts in the field of external action.

This practical guide does not apply to contracts for which the European Commission acts as contracting authority on its own account. These are covered by separate guides (the Vade-mecum on public procurement in the Commission and the Vade-mecum on grant management) drafted by the Directorate-General for Budget (DG BUDG). This practical guide does not apply to civil protection and humanitarian aid operations carried out by the Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (DG ECHO).

It does not claim to cover every single matter that may arise with public procurement and grant procedures. It is only a general guide.
