Three modules have been designed for this contract.

The first module consists in the design and organisation of information seminars and study visits for media. These take place, primarily, at the seat of the European institutions in Brussels, or in any of the 28 EU Member States, but can also be held in the candidate countries, the countries covered by the EU neighbourhood policy or any other country in the world.

The second module consists in the creation and organisation of online events for more specialised media. Depending on the subject and the available resources, they could be open to wider interested applicants.

The third module consists of preparatory or follow-up activities to the information events and sessions organised under modules 1 and 2, or any other media relations activity, to encourage network building and exchange among media based on their common interest for EU affairs and policies.

The scope of this negotiated procedure is the provision of new services consisting in the repetition of similar services entrusted to the tenderer to which the contracting authority awarded the original contract.

The legal basis for the increase of the ceiling is point 11.1.e) of Annex I to the Financial Regulation (Regulation 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18.7.2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union).
