Tasks to be performed by the contractor
Within the framework of this contract, the contractor will provide a range of communication and design services in close coordination with the GET.invest communications team (and relevant partners, where appropriate). The services will be tendered as a framework contract and include the production, design and illustration of communication products, copywriting, and strategic advisory services.
The distribution of expert days in the tables below expresses the weighting that GET.invest currently foresees for each work package (WP). The number of days allocated to each WP may be reallocated during the implementation of the contract as the needs for support take shape over time during the bridge phase (July 2026 – June 2028).
All tasks outlined below require the contractor to clarify each assignment with GET.invest, produce and present drafts, and coordinate closely with the GET.invest communications team to incorporate feedback until final approval. The contractor shall maintain time sheets indicating the number of working days per expert used for each WP and report these on a monthly basis.
The tasks can be grouped into three work packages:
Work package 1 – Graphic and multimedia design
GET.invest needs support in editing and creating different materials – from publications and PowerPoint presentations, to infographics, images for social media and short animations. The specific tasks may still be unclear at the time of assignment, since they are often received by the communications team at short notice. The objective of this first WP is to produce communication products that reinforce GET.invest’s positioning as a leading technical assistance programme during the bridge phase, while creating internal capacity by outsourcing design tasks as needed. Ordering/printing of materials is not part of the tender. The contractor shall provide on-demand graphic and multimedia design services, including but not limited to:
* Design and layout of publications (e.g. fact sheets, papers, donor updates).
* Design and adaptation of existing programme- and event-related materials (digital banners, backdrops, roll-ups, social media visuals) for both website and print formats.
* Creation of templates (e.g. Word and PowerPoint layouts, static visuals and light animations for social media).
* Development of infographics visualising investment mobilisation results, advisory pipeline data and market trends.
* Formatting and optimisation of PPT presentations for high-level meetings, donor briefings and conferences.
* Basic video editing and short multimedia explainers (e.g. of GET.invest services or the programme results).
* Research, selection and licensing of images and visual materials from external sources, or processing/editing images provided.
* Liaison with other service providers (e.g. web developers, printers), where applicable.
Work package 2 – Copywriting and editorial services
With this second WP, GET.invest aims to produce technically sound, audience-specific and high-quality English content that supports investment mobilisation, donor visibility and institutional positioning during the bridge phase. The contractor shall provide on-demand copywriting and editorial services for different channels, target groups and formats, including but not limited to:
* Success and impact stories demonstrating progress towards financial close and investment mobilisation, e.g. the GET.invest Finance Access Advisory stories https://www.get-invest.eu/
* Interviews with programme advisors, partners and financiers.
* Articles and feature texts for professional audiences (e.g. donor-oriented texts, website content and newsletters).
* Social media posts to support communication campaigns targeting specialised audiences, with a focus on LinkedIn.
Work package 3 – Strategic communication and process advisory
The aim of the third WP is to provide senior-level strategic advice ensuring coherence, credibility and continuity of the programme’s communications during the two-year bridge phase. For such end, the contractor shall provide targeted strategic advisory services, including but not limited to:
* Advisory support on positioning GET.invest within the broader EU’s Global Gateway strategic framework.
* Refinement of key messages and value proposition of the programme
* Strategic input for high-level publications and flagship outputs.
* Advise on communicating investment mobilisation results in line with programme indicators.
* Preparation of strategic messaging briefs and talking points for senior management.
* Review and optimisation of editorial workflows and internal communication processes, where required.
