Details

Research Ireland seeks to undertake an independent evaluation of the economic, innovation, human capital, research capability and wider societal impacts arising from Research Ireland investments in research and innovation. The evaluation should identify and assess the pathways through which impact is generated, determine what evidence exists for these impacts, examine additionality and contribution where feasible, and provide strategic insights to inform future implementation of Research Ireland's strategy and investment portfolio. The evaluation should consider Research Ireland's role within the wider Irish research and innovation ecosystem and examine how its investments interact with those of other public funders and institutions.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
