Through the EEA and Norway Grants, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway contribute to reducing disparities in Europe and to strengthening bilateral relations with 15 countries in Central and Southern Europe. 

The FMO places digital at the heart of its communication. To deliver a clear message and reach wider audiences, the FMO has shifted from offline to online in the last years to transform our organisation into a paper-less and impact-more one. To take our digital communication to the next level, the FMO seeks to establish a Framework Agreement with one – three Contractors for the provision of digital communication services. The Contractor must demonstrate the experience and expertise needed to provide high quality services in the fields of content strategy and marketing, social media strategy, campaigns and activities, graphic and web design, audio-visual production, among others.

The deadline for submission of bids is 22 February 2019 at 17:00 CET. 

Questions as to the procurement or documents must be e-mailed to Raquel Torres Prol (rto@efta.int), including lwe@efta.int in cc, no later than 18 February at 17:00 CET. The questions and answers will be shared here, without disclosing the name of the person or company raising the question.
