2.1 Procedure

Title : Website for the DUT Partnership

The Contracting authority is coordinating the “European Partnership Driving Urban Transitions to a Sustainable Future (DUT Partnership)” which is co-financed by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme. The current DUT website ( www.dutpartnership.eu) has been operational since 2022 and was originally designed as a landing page only to cover the start-up period until a new, fully functional website is available.

For more details, please see the tender documents. The service contract shall be concluded with the best tenderer. The contract is concluded for a period of five years (2024 until 2028) with an option to extend four additional years until 31st December 2032.
