THR016F - Request for Tenders to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of Occupational Health Services

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (the “Contracting Authority”) is issuing this RFT as a central purchasing body for use by the Framework Clients (defined below).  The Office of Government Procurement (the “OGP”) is an office within the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform tasked with sourcing goods and services on behalf of the public service.  References to the Contracting Authority will be deemed to include the OGP.

The Contracting Authority invites tenders (“Tenders”) from economic operators (“Tenderers”) for appointment to a multi-supplier framework agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) for the provision of the services described in Appendix 1 to this RFT (“the Services”).

Tenderers should be aware that the Services sought herein are within Annex XIV of Directive 2014/24/EU on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC (“the Directive”) and therefore this public procurement competition is not subject to the full set of rules of the Directive.

In summary, the Services comprise:

The Provision of occupational health services - medical services provided by competent medical personnel to public sector bodies.

The framework agreement will be divided into three lots (each a “Lot”) as described below.  Each Lot will result in a separate framework agreement (each a “Framework Agreement”).

The three (3) lots are set out below:
