Call for Provider to Host Website and Email Management

URBACT is looking for a service provider for the hosting of the urbact.eu website and email for the URBACT III programme.

URBACT is a European exchange and learning programme promoting sustainable urban development. It enables cities to work together to find solutions to urban challenges. URBACT helps cities to collaborate in networks together towards concrete sustainable solutions that involve economic, social and environmental dimensions.

The 2014-2020 URBACT III programme is built on the very positive experience of URBACT I (2002-2006) and URBACT II (2007-2013). The URBACT II programme enabled more than 550 cities in 29 countries in Europe to participate in thematic networks consisting of 10-12 cities involving more than 7,000 actors on the ground (local administrations, elected representatives, civil society, residents, etc.). The main objective of URBACT III is to promote integrated and sustainable urban development by improving the capacities of cities to design and deliver integrated policies and strategies.

URBACT uses its website as a primary tool of communication and dissemination. The site is used for public information and as an instutional media communication, as a communication tool on projects (mini-sites), and as a database of the URBACT productions and content generated by projects. The URBACT website traffic average for 2014 was 30,000 unique visitors per month.

The purpose of this contract is related to the hosting of the website www.urbact.eu and the email management of the URBACT Secretariat for the URBACT III program.

Interested candidates should send their application and filled out documents to the URBACT Secretariat by 20 May 12:00 CET to Thierry Picquart t.picquart@urbact.eu
