Procurement of Advisory Services for the Creation and Dynamisation of the AECT Cáceres Beira Baixa entity.

This tender concerns the procurement of advisory services essential for the establishment and operationalisation of the AECT Cáceres Beira Baixa entity. The AECT (Agrupación Europea de Cooperación Territorial) is a legal entity established by public authorities from different Member States with the aim of facilitating and promoting cross-border cooperation. In this specific case, the AECT Cáceres Beira Baixa aims to foster collaboration between the Spanish region of Extremadura (specifically the city of Cáceres) and the Portuguese Beira Baixa region. The advisory services will likely cover a broad spectrum of activities, including legal and administrative structuring, defining governance models, developing strategic plans for cross-border projects, and implementing operational frameworks to ensure the effective functioning of the AECT. Key requirements may include expertise in European territorial cooperation, public administration, project management, and stakeholder engagement within a cross-border context. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in guiding the initial phase of the AECT, ensuring its compliance with relevant regulations and maximising its potential to drive regional development and cooperation initiatives between Portugal and Spain. The scope of work will focus on both the foundational aspects of creating the entity and the subsequent dynamic processes required for its sustained and productive operation.
