Details

The National Archives has been very successful in recent years in broadening the understanding of our role as the keeper of the records of the State amongst the general public. This enhanced public engagement has seen more people visit the National Archives online and in person(outside of the usual academics and researchers) and connect with our collections through new and more creative ways, such as exhibitions (61,000 people attended Society and State in 2024), publications, talks, seminars, tours including our annual exhibition at the Ploughing Championships, our expanded social media (31,256 followers on social media platforms) as well as more collections available online including the 1926 census with over 50m hits to the website. Our proposed collaboration with The National Archives UK (TNA) as part of the Ireland UK 2030 Collaboration Project, Shared archives, shared futures: Ireland and Britain in paper, practice and partnership will build on this work. This project will require project management support across the range of work packages proposed as part of the application. These services are built into the funding approved in March 2026. Over the coming four years we are also developing our exhibition and outreach programme to make available a core series of collections. These will include an exhibition on our Famine Relief Collections and Distress Papers in 2027 as part of Ireland Canada 180 which we will also bring to the Ploughing Championships, a programme on the Financial Personal and Property Compensation Files 1916-1923 which recently transferred to the National Archives from the Department of Finance. Education and Outreach Programme Management Services are required to support the National Archives work in these areas. We do not have the internal skills or resources to deliver these services.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this sports, recreation & events 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.
