Broadcast Services to provide EU-related News for Local and Community Radio Stations in Ireland-COMM/DUB/2021/OP/0058

European Commission, COMM - Communication, COMM.DGA1.C.DU - Dublin - Representation in Ireland

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.

Deadline

The time limit for receipt of tenders was 2021-04-22. The procurement was published on 2021-02-22.

Title: Broadcast Services to provide EU-related News for Local and Community Radio Stations in Ireland-COMM/DUB/2021/OP/0058
Reference number: COMM/DUB/2021/OP/0058
Short description:
Inden for rammerne af dets informations- og kommunikationsaktiviteter agter repræsentationen i Irland at indgå en kontrakt med en tjenesteleverandør om levering af EU-relaterede nyhedshistorier til lokale og lokalsamfundsbaserede radiostationer i Irland. Mens de nationale nyhedsmedier i Irland har særlige redaktører/korrespondenter i Bruxelles til dækning af europæiske historier, har de lokale medier ikke en sådan mulighed. Eftersom lokal radio står for ca. 56 % af lyttertallene i dagtimerne i dette land (kilde: JNLR-rapporten fra august 2019) og i betragtning af behovet for at forbedre informationsstrømmen om EU til offentligheden foreslår Europa-Kommissionens repræsentation i Irland at tilbyde en nyhedstjeneste om EU's politikker og aktiviteter til brug for lokale og lokalsamfundsbaserede radiostationer.

Place: På grund af situationen i COVID-19 vil den offentlige åbning højst sandsynligt ikke være mulig i repræsentationens lokaler (12-14 Lower Mount Street, Dublin 2, Dublin, IRLAND).
