The present contract concerns a mission of expertise, support and facilitation of the Be Sustainable* platform. It aims to continue the work of supporting changes in practices in the fields of spatial planning, urban planning and urban regeneration. The objective is twofold: to encourage urban projects in Brussels with strong sustainability and climate ambitions, and to strengthen the autonomy of project leaders in the face of increasingly complex trade-offs, while continuing work in areas of innovation.
The Be Sustainable platform is a regional tool designed to connect partners, tools, sources of inspiration and knowledge, as well as to provide support services to foster the climate and social transition of neighbourhoods towards greater sustainability. Its operation and ongoing development are managed by the Sustainable Neighbourhoods Facilitator team, in close collaboration with Brussels Environment.
The objective of the Be Sustainable contract is to replicate the successful and flexible formula of support and training from the previous contracts, while reaffirming innovation as a central driving force (link to the previous contract).
However, for this edition, the amount of the contract is defined on the basis of an hourly rate.
In order to enable candidates to estimate the total annual amount of fees that may be expected, account should be taken of the (estimated or lump-sum) quantities set out in the inventory annexed to the tender documents.
