Broadcast Services to provide EU-related News for Local and Community Radio Stations in Ireland

Item Description:

The European Commission, Directorate-General for Communication, referred to below as the contracting authority, is planning to award the contract(s) resulting from the above procurement procedure. The procurement documents consist of the contract notice, the invitation letter, the draft contract(s) and tender specifications with their respective annexes. All documents are available in the attached ZIP File.

In the framework of its information and communication activities, the Representation in Ireland intends to sign a contract with a service supplier to provide EU-related news stories for local and community radio stations in Ireland.Whereas, in Ireland, the national news media have special editors/correspondents assigned in Brussels to cover European stories, the local media have no such facility. Given that local radio commands approximately 56 % of daytime listenership in this country (source: JNLR report August 2019), and having regard to the need to improve the flow of information about the EU to the general public, the European Commission’s Representation in Ireland proposes to offer a news service on EU policies and activities for use by local and community radio stations.
