The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (the “Contracting Authority”) is issuing this request for tenders (“RFT”) as a central purchasing body for use by the Framework Clients (defined at paragraph 1.4 below).

References to the Contracting Authority will be deemed to include the OGP.
The Contracting Authority invites tenders (“Tenders”) from economic operators (“Tenderers”) for the award of framework contracts (each a “Framework Contract”) for the provision of the services as described in Appendix 1 to this RFT (the “Services”).

In summary, the Services comprise:
The Provision of Taxi Services in the Greater Dublin Area i.e. Dublin, Meath, Wicklow and Kildare.
1.3
This framework will be divided into (2) two lots (each a “Lot”) as described below. Each Lot will result in separate Framework Contracts for use by the entities outlined in paragraph 1.4 below (each a “Framework Client”).
Lot 1: Single Supplier Framework Contract for Framework Clients with a spend of €25,000 per annum or more (based on historical spend in the year preceding signup to the Framework)
