Details

The Department currently owns, supports and maintains 43 websites via the Digital Transformation Unit. These sites cover a range of Business Activities from Housing, Heritage, Fire Safety, Local Government Oversight and supporting Ireland’s Electoral Processes. Most of these sites are WordPress based or static html (whereby WordPress is used to generate a site). The Department is seeking to award a contract to a single service provider to provide website hosting, support and future website development assistance for the Department’s websites. In addition, to supporting the Department’s websites online, there will be a requirement to provide an onsite support presence, along with The Digital Transformation Unit (DTU), on the run up to and during events such as the Presidential election and/or Referenda or at any other times as required by the DTU.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this it & telecom 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.
