      4. Description of the procurement:
         

         Scientific studies have shown that fatigue impacts significantly on human performance. In the aviation sector, crew fatigue has been identified as a contributing factor to accident or incidents. In line with the EU objective to ensure a high level of safety and passenger protection, a first set of harmonised provisions to manage crew fatigue was specified for air operations (EU-OPS subpart Q).

         Further harmonised provisions for both FTL and FRM are now established in Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council which entered into force in February 2008. Article 9a of this Regulation requires EASA to conduct a continuous review of the effectiveness of these new provisions once implemented. February 2019 is the deadline for submission of the first report of such review and the current procurement shall contribute to the performance of such review and to the elaboration of final conclusions and recommendations for the purpose of due reporting.
