EUOSHA/2021/OP/F/SE/0142  2.3.12 Security services for events taking place outside EU-OSHA premises 2.3.13 Special requirements for online and hybrid meetings and events  When requested, the contractor will ensure that security needs are correctly assessed and met,  respecting at all times any instructions from EU-OSHA and the responsible local or national authorities,  if applicable. This includes but is not limited to:  All security staff need to comply with the requirements for onsite staff.  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, EU-OSHA has organised an increasing number of events online.  These can be 100 % online events or hybrid events, where the moderator(s) and speakers, or parts of  the audience, gather in one onsite space (previously mentioned in  section 2.3.2 ).  The contractor must be able to organise all events, meetings and training and information sessions  planned by EU-OSHA as both fully online or hybrid events.  There will be a certain number of online and hybrid events conducted throughout the year covering a  variety of subjects and involving a variety of stakeholders. International groups of different sizes (from  10 to 300 participants) will participate in these events, and additional capacity should be available. It is  anticipated that the running times will vary from 60 minutes to 8 hours (not limited), distributed over  several consecutive or non-consecutive days.  While some pre-recorded material may be used, these events are usually live and may incorporate a  number of speakers, panel discussions and break-out rooms to conduct group exercises or discussions.  Moderation of questions and a chat function are also needed, as is the ability for facilitators to move  between break-out rooms to monitor activity and interact as necessary.  EU-OSHA’s preferred online meeting platform is MS Teams, but the contractor will be able to propose  the use of any other online platform (Zoom, Webex, Meet, Interactio, etc.), depending on the needs and  requirements described by EU-OSHA in its request for offer.
