FOR THE PARTNER LANGUAGE TRAINING CENTER EUROPE (PLTCE)

HQ0236-08-T-0004 (Russian) and HQ0239-08-T-0005 (Pashto)

Q1. I received this solicitation form and it says inside it that the offeror will need to have a German work permit to obtain this position. The thing is I'm a native Russian and currently live in Russia. I think it would be next to impossible to get a work permit for me without your assistance. Could you please clarify on this matter?

A1. After contract award and upon arrival, the Government will forward a copy of the contract along with a letter from PLTCE certifying that the person is one of our contract instructors and the Landratsamt (Auslaenderamt) will issue a residence/work permit for the base year.

Q2. Will board and lodging be provided for the language instructors by PLTCE for the duration of the contract and on what terms?

A2. All costs associated with this requirement to include meals, lodging, transportation, and incidentals shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor.

Q3. What are the payment terms for instructor services – ie 30 days from submission of monthly invoices etc?

A3. Payment terms: net 15 days

Q4. If instructors are non-EU citizens but have valid UK work permit – could the German work permit be arranged after the contract award is made?
