The FMO intends to enter into a framework agreement with a communication and design service provider for communication deliverables in a two-year period – 2017-2019 with a possibility of a two-year extension.
The successful tenderer will need to have sufficient in-house capacity and expertise to deliver the design and lay-out of an annual report every spring, including an online interactive version.
The EEA Grants and Norway Grants represent financial contributions from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway to reducing social and economic disparities in the European Economic Area (EEA) and to strengthening bilateral relations with the 16/15 countries benefiting from the Grants.[1]
The scope of the framework agreement includes the development of reports and publications, promotional material such as brochures, leaflets and banners, and graphic design elements for web and social media as well as other services, (see Terms of Reference).
All communication material will graphically be based on the official Communication and Design Manual of the EEA Grants and Norway Grants. This will be revised and finalised spring 2017.
