Description
This call for tenders and the associated services contribute to the implementation of the mandate of the regiosuisse knowledge management and network office (hereinafter referred to as "regiosuisse") between January 2028 and June 2032. The services complement those of Lot 1 of the regiosuisse contract awarded in 2023 (regiosuisse services "Management of the network office, knowledge-intensive events and analyses"), which also runs until 2032. In addition to managing the mandate, the majority of the services relate to the implementation of communication measures, in particular via the regiosuisse.ch website, as well as the organisation of events.
regiosuisse was founded in 2008 and has established itself as an important player in the field of knowledge management and knowledge dissemination for regional development as well as in the networking of relevant actors. The New Regional Policy (NRP) has been at the heart of its mandate from the very beginning. The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) is responsible for the implementation of the NRP and thus for the mandate of regiosuisse. From 2016 onwards, knowledge management in connection with agglomeration policy (AggloPol) and policy for rural and mountainous areas (P-LRB) was included in the performance agreement with regiosuisse.
