European Institute of Innovation and Technology (an agency of the European Commission), Munich
Closing Date: 30 May 2022
Key objectives:
– A cohesive and recognisable visual identify for the Connections platform
– A defined platform value proposition with clear use cases for the Partner community
– An improved user experience and user journey
– Greater customisation and personalisation opportunities (at admin and user level)
– Advanced platform capabilities including improved communication tools and analytics
– Integration and greater interoperability with EIT Health Platforms and data systems.
Background. Connections is an online platform which aims to facilitate innovation and collaboration across the EIT Health ecosystem. It is an interactive area for EIT Health partners to access vital parts of their membership, enabling them to: discuss future projects, exchange learnings and insights, and be a part of the vibrant EIT Health network. It is also a space to find vital partnership and Business Plan process information (legal, administrative, financial) and other useful guidance content. Additionally, Connections provides regular updates and information regarding activities, news, and events that are deemed of interest to the Partner community.
EIT Health Partners The partners of EIT Health comprise approximately 150 leading organisations from business, education, research, and health service delivery. Representatives of these partner organisation constitute over 80% of the users of the Connections platform. These representatives are external to the EIT Health organisation, and so are not regulated by standard EIT Health systems, and IT processes.
In 2020, following a review of our key operational platforms and business processes, EIT Health embarked on the development of Connections 2.0, a relaunch and redesign of the previous community platform. The objective was to design and launch a platform which is easy to use, offers partners a straightforward way to access information, effectively promotes connections, interactions & collaborations between our network of partner organisations, and fosters a sense of community.
The solution, launched in Q4 2021, is a bespoke Acquia based Community Platform that meets the essential needs of our community, and which provides a strong foundation on which to build.
This Platform is hosted and maintained via an ongoing contract with Acquia, who ensure that the platform remains fully operational 24/7, 365 days a year. The platform is hosted via Acquia Cloud Plus and Acquia Site Studio. The contract with Acquia will continue to run in parallel to this new contact with the selected Economic Operator.
As of 2022, the core features of this platform include:
– A member database with the capability to search & view employee, partner, and other community members’ profiles,
– Events and News pages to list and share upcoming activities
– A Marketplace to share project ideas & proposals, make offers, and highlight needs
– A public discussion forum
– Working groups (public and closed)
– Dedicated sections with access to information on calls for Business plan Proposals, branding toolkits & guidance documents
– A community live feed
EIT Health would like to continue to strengthen this platform through the further development of features and content which encourage platform usage, facilitate matchmaking and networking opportunities, and increase the uptake of the platform through an improved user experience. These features and content streams should add value to partners and help them get the most out of their membership. Therefore, to support the ongoing maintenance and development of the Connections platform, EIT Health seeks to award a framework contract for the delivery of services. The exact specification of the services will be set out in detailed Statements of Work (SOWto be issued by EIT Health on the basis of the framework contract.
The total value of services expected to be procured over the two-year period of the contract will not exceed EUR 160.000. Invoices are to be submitted by the economic operator following the completion of each Statement of Work.
