# ESPON STRATOWN: strategic role of secondary cities in Estonia

ESPON EGTC seeks a territorial study on how secondary cities and towns can support balanced regional development in Estonia. The study is expected to produce territorial evidence and practical policy recommendations for strengthening their role as economic drivers in their wider functional regions. The estimated overall contract amount is EUR 80,000, with no VAT basis stated. The notice calls for the most economically advantageous tender on a price-quality basis but gives no weighting breakdown. Offers must be submitted through Luxembourg’s PMP.LU portal, which is also the mandatory channel for clarification questions.
