    EEA and Norway Grants digital communication services Terms of Reference for Framework Agreement (s) on digital communication services for the EEA and Norway Grants www.eeagrants.org EEA and Norway Grants Financial Mechanism Office Boulevard du Régent 47-48 1000 Brussels, Belgium 1. Introduction The Financial Mechanism Office (FMO), the secretariat of the EEA and Norway Grants (hereinafter referred to as “FMO”) seeks to establish a Framework Agreement with one – three Contractors for the provision of digital communication services, in accordance with the specifications set out in the tender documents. Background The EEA and Norway Grants 2014-2021 (The Grants) represent the financial contribution of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (donor countries) to reduce social and economic disparities in Europe and strengthen bilateral relations with 15 countries in Central and Southern Europe. The Grants are composed of two financial mechanisms; the EEA Grants financed by all three donor countries, and the Norway Grants, financed by Norway alone. The three donor countries have contributed to the European cohesion efforts ever since the EEA Agreement entered into force on 1 January 1994. The year 2019 shall mark the 25th Anniversary of the European Economic Area Agreement and the birth of the EEA and Norway Grants. This occasion shall require close cooperation with the Contractor. During the funding period 2009-2014, €1.8 billion was set aside under the Grants. For the period 2014-2021, the funding has been increased to €2.8 billion. During the 2009-2014 funding period, the funds were channelled to over 7 000 projects through 150 thematic programmes. The programmes for the 2014-2021 are still in the drafting stage, the final number of programmes is therefore not available at this time.
