Prestazione di servizi di copywriting, redazione editoriale e revisione di testi per Eurojust

The European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation intends to initiate a procurement procedure for the provision of copywriting, editorial, editing and proofreading services in English. The services may include the drafting, rewriting, adapting, editing and proofreading of legal, administrative and communication-related content, including articles, interviews, news items, reports, publications, summaries, speeches and video scripts. Tasks may also involve conducting supporting research to enable the performance of the tasks, updating existing content and adapting texts to different target audiences. The contractor will be expected to ensure that content is clear, concise and consistent with Eurojust’s editorial requirements and applicable style guides, while preserving the intended substantive and legal meaning of the original texts. The resulting Framework contract with one contractor is expected to have an initial duration of 24 months, renewable twice for periods of 12 months each (24+12+12), for a maximum duration of 48 months. Exclusion criteria: Tenderers must not be in any of the exclusion situations referred to in Article 138 or subject to any of the grounds for rejection referred to in Article 143 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 (Financial Regulation).

This includes economic operators established in an EU Member State and economic operators established in third countries having a special agreement with the European Union in the field of public procurement, under the conditions laid down in the applicable agreement. Please note that Eurojust cannot benefit from the Agreement on Government Procurement concluded within the World Trade Organisation (GPA). Tenderers must comply with the applicable rules on access to procurement at the time of submission of their tender and throughout the performance of the Framework Contract.
