Exchange of general information, especially on living and working conditions, between Member States is an important aspect of the work and, at present, takes place via the European Information System INFO 92. Bids are to be invited for integration of the existing information on INFO 92, and possibly for expansion of the database. The information to be processed is in the languages: DK, D, EL, EN, ES, F, I, N, P. Offers are invited for the following lots: Lot 1: - Computerized documents based on existing, pre-translated texts for direct incorporation into INFO 92; - System integration; - Expansion of the INFO 92 tree structure to incorporate supplementary information. Lot 2: - Supplementary information for the database to cover gaps identified by users, particularly in the area of living and working conditions and to provide information on the mobility of European workers in general. Tenderers must be able to provide evidence of substantial experience in the relevant fields. Bids may be submitted for only some of the services in question.
