Description of the procurement

The FAIRshare (Farm Advisory Digital Innovation Tools Realised and Shared) project was launched in November 2018; including a mixture of advisory services and many EUFRAS members. The EU H2020 funded project is co-ordinated by Teagasc (Ireland) and aims to enable a more digitally active farm and farm advisory community by focusing on bridging the digital divide evident between, and within, farm and agricultural advisory services.
This public procurement competition will be divided into 4 lots (each a “Lot”) as described below. Each Lot will result in a number of separate contracts.
This call applies to the User Cases; each funded by €30K.
Lot 1. West Europe - France, Ireland, UK, Spain, Portugal - 3 User Cases which will be co-ordinated and overseen by Teagasc.
Lot 2. North East Europe -Lithuania, Latvia, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Estonia, Norway, Sweden - 3 User Cases which will be co-ordinated and overseen by LAAS (VIESOJI ISTAIGA LIETUVOS ZEMES UKIO KONSULTAVIMO TARNYBA).
Lot 3. South East Europe - Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Greece - 4 User Cases which will be co-ordinated and overseen by SEASN (MREZA SAVJETODAVNIH SLUZBI JUGOISTOCNE EUROPE).
Lot 4. Central Europe - Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria - 3 User Cases which will be co-ordinated and overseen by ZLTO (ZUIDELIJKE LAND- EN TUINBOUWORGANISATIE VERENIGING).
FAIRshare has authority and reserves the right to alter the number of User Cases assigned to a particular region should any one lot not receive appropriate proposals both in terms of quality and/or quantity. Similarly, in such circumstances the project may begin another procurement process in order to attain appropriate applications. The FAIRshare project members have complete authority to decipher which applicants should attain funding.
