The European Commission has launched a call for tenders for setting up and managing a “Support Office” that will assist it in facilitating the Rural Pact

The Contractor will provide an EU-level support office to assist DG AGRI with the facilitation of the Rural Pact done in close coordination with the Directorate-General for Regional and urban policy (DG REGIO).

It will provide facilitation services to the Rural Pact community to help them achieve their objectives, therefore contributing to the shared goals of the long-term Vision. The Rural Pact support office will interact with the Rural Pact community, evaluate their needs and support the work of the community as a whole.

It will also need to build synergies with networks and governing bodies, such as the future EU CAP Network governing bodies, the Broadband Competence Office support facility, and bodies running the Territorial agenda for the EU  and the future network activities of the Commission’s Communication on ‘Attracting and retaining talents in EU regions-from brain drain to brain gain’. It will also interact with stakeholder networks such as the European Rural Parliament.

The deadline for the submission of offers is 21st September 2022.
