Espace sur Demande: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Espace sur Demande is a free online platform where municipalities and other public bodies offer their rooms and public spaces for booking. Each publishing organisation gets a showcase page and a calendar per space. Renters submit a request with contact details and proof of insurance; managers accept, refuse or make a counter-offer, and the rental agreement is then generated for signature. It offers team accounts with permissions and CSV export. The platform is used online, with sign-up through ProConnect.

It was started by the Isère département and is now run nationally by the ANCT, the French national agency for territorial cohesion, within its Incubateur des Territoires. The source code is on GitLab under the AGPL v3 licence. The service is hosted by Scaleway in France. According to its privacy policy, the ANCT is the data controller for user accounts, while each municipality is responsible for the data in its own bookings. Publishing is limited to smaller municipalities, inter-municipal bodies and shared-service structures; other organisations can contact the ANCT.
