logistical support to help focal points promote EU-OSHA’s campaigns and awareness-raising projects at the national level. 

All these activities are intended to promote OSH in general and the main EU-OSHA projects at the national and regional levels. These main projects include the HWC, projects such as ESENER and those on musculoskeletal disorders, costs and benefits of OSH, MSEs and OiRA, and the EU-OSHA partnership with the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN). 

## OiRA partners — sectoral tools for micro and small enterprises 

National OiRA partners are mainly national authorities (ministries and labour inspectorates) and national OSH institutes that have decided to join the OiRA community and develop and implement the OiRA programme of online risk assessment in their countries. Please see the OiRA website: https://oiraproject.eu/en/oira-tools. 

The objective of the OiRA project is to support MSEs in improving their OSH by providing them with free sectoral risk assessment tools. OiRA is an application that allows official OiRA partners to prepare these sector-specific risk assessment tools, ideally with the involvement of the national social partners. So far, partners from 16 EU Member States (mainly ministries and labour inspectorates) have joined the OiRA project. These partners develop and regularly update their own sectoral risk assessment tools in their national languages, adapted to their national OSH legislation. 

EU-OSHA supports one to three OiRA partners each year in the promotion of their tools with national promotion support schemes. These schemes aim to showcase at the national level the successful promotion of OiRA in general and specifically of some selected tools. 

The way to set up, manage and report on the activities included in the promotion support schemes is described in the FAST scheme process. The contractor’s national partners are responsible for the logistical aspects of the activities ordered by national OiRA partners, and they liaise at the national level and report to the contractor, who monitors the activities with EU-OSHA. The OiRA monitoring process is less rigorous, as fewer OiRA activities are organised than under the FAST scheme. 

## Important 

The types of activities and services requested by EU-OSHA are listed below in section 2.1.2 . Tenderers should also check the ‘List of services’ in Annex I  of this call for tender. This document contains detailed descriptions and quality standards for the implementation of each service, including the cooperation required among all parties involved. 

Services will be organised at the national level in the EU and in EEA and candidate countries, in cooperation with the two national EU-OSHA networks mentioned above. 

It is essential that tenderers demonstrate in their offers the existence of a network established for at least 3 years in the EU and in EEA countries, and show the capacities and experiences of each of the national members to define and organise the necessary services. 

In order to ensure consistency with all EU-OSHA communication activities, the successful tenderer for this lot will be requested — whenever necessary — to work together effectively with other EU-OSHA contractors.
