Framework contract concerning the provision of information and data. The project concerns the further development of the 'Trade Assistant for Services and Investment', which is available on DG TRADE's Access2Markets portal. The objective is to provide information to EU companies that are interested in exporting services or investing outside the EU. The information mainly concerns the requirements that they need to meet to export services or invest outside the EU as well as the contact details of the responsible regulatory authorities. The information will need to be provided in a format compatible with the Access2Markets portal and presented in a user-friendly manner. The project will consist of both research and data collection as well as IT-related work.
The European Commission's trade department wants a contractor to research and maintain information that helps EU companies understand the rules for exporting services or investing outside the EU, plus the contact details of the regulatory authorities involved — and to format that data for its Access2Markets portal in a user-friendly way. The work mixes research, data collection, and IT delivery.
