REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) FOR AUDIOVISUAL AGENCY

Issued by: Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS), North Africa Office
Date: 18/11/2025
Tender Submission Deadline: 29th of December 2025

1. Introduction

The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS), North Africa Office, invites qualified and experienced service providers to submit proposals for the provision of audiovisual agency services for the period starting on 1 January 2026, with a maximum potential duration until December 2028.

RLS is an internationally operating, progressive non-profit institution for civic education affiliated with the German Left Party (DIE LINKE). Active since 1990, RLS promotes democratic participation, social justice, and sustainable development through dialogue, knowledge sharing, and empowerment initiatives.

The North Africa Office, based in Tunis, implements projects and activities across the region, including conferences, publications, and cooperation with national and international partners. This RFP seeks to identify a reliable and professional audiovisual service provider capable of delivering high-quality and cost-effective services in line with the foundation’s values and operational standards.

RLS intends to establish a framework contract with the selected service provider(s) for an initial period of one (1) year, which may be renewed for up to two (2) additional years based on satisfactory performance, quality of service, and the operational needs of the foundation. RLS reserves the right to terminate the framework contract at any time if the quality of the services is unsatisfactory or if contractual obligations are not fulfilled.

In line with current procurement regulations, the framework contract will specify both an estimated value and a maximum value for the entire duration of the agreement, inclusive of all applicable taxes:

  • The estimated total order volume is 200,000 TND.
  • The maximum value, which may not be exceeded under any circumstances, is 300,000 TND.

Once the maximum value is reached, the framework contract is considered exhausted, and no further orders can be placed without launching a new procurement procedure. Please note that the estimated value does not constitute a guaranteed minimum order volume, and RLS is under no obligation to reach either the estimated or maximum value during the contract period.
