Short presentation

Central purchasing office offering "smart city" solutions

Goals

Simplify the tasks of municipalities wishing to deploy digital solutions for the management or facilitation of services.

Contexte (territory issues, targeted audience)

Territory made up of 44 predominantly rural communes; cross-border territory (France and Luxembourg); mixed and diversified populations.

It is a large territory where not all the communes are confronted with the same problems. Idélux is an intermunicipal association which makes it possible to meet the needs of the communes and to propose solutions to them.

Actions implemented

Ten proposed solutions for e-ticketing, works service, citizen participation, mobile apps, school meal management, etc.

Catalogue of the central purchasing office set up on the basis of an audit that collects the expectations and needs of the communes.
