DIGIT TM II delivery modes

Delivery modes and locations

There are three types of delivery modes under the contract: on-site, near-site, and far-site.

• On-site contracts require professionals to work at the Commission's office

• Near-site contracts allow for remote work within the same country as the Commission's office, or close by (2 hours notice)
