Dublin City Council (DCC) is seeking tenders to establish a single party framework agreement for the provision and promotion of a quarterly print and digital economic monitor for Dublin (the DEM). The current DEM tracks economic developments in Dublin. It is published quarterly in print and digital form and it is intended that this will continue. It consists of 16 A4 pages of graphs and commentary on the Dublin, National and Global economic outlook, benchmarking, insight articles and an additional 4-page central pull out. Printing and distribution are done by DCC. The next iteration of the DEM will also focus on developing the accompanying website, www.dublineconomy.ie, to provide regular blogs, vlogs, podcasts or other insight pieces on a variety of topics relevant to the Dublin economy. In addition, hosting and updating the content of the website is required. A communications strategy to promote the DEM with measurable targets is also required.
