Editing services framework agreement, NRC Geneva/IDMC

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent, humanitarian, non-profit, non-governmental organisation which provides assistance, protection and durable solutions to refugees.

NRC Geneva and IDMC are looking to establish a group of editors/editing agencies with whom to enter into framework agreements for ad hoc work over a five-year period. The establishment of a framework agreement does not guarantee that services will be purchased by IDMC and NRC from the supplier. The agreement will serve as a pre-approval for IDMC and NRC to purchase services from suppliers during the framework period at predetermined rates. This tender may be used at the rates and conditions by other NRC Offices.

Applications are welcome from independent consultants, sole traders, and registered companies. All interested candidates should submit the following as part of their application/tender documentation:
