The Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government,

Custom House 

Dublin 1 

Ireland

24^th August 2015

To whom it may concern:

Please see the following Invitation to Tender for the Provision of Smoke Alarms in 2015.

Each year the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government runs the Community Smoke Alarm Scheme.  Under the scheme, local authorities will, with the assistance of the voluntary sector and others who visit persons in vulnerable households, identify those households where there are no smoke alarms and will arrange for the supply and installation of two smoke alarms in each such household. 

This tender will be limited to 10,000 alarms: 5,000 10 Year Battery Power Sealed Ionisation Alarms and 5,000 10 Year Battery Powered Optical Alarms.  Expressions of Interest will be sought from the 27 Local Authorities.  These Expressions of Interest will determine how many of each alarm type will be delivered to the participating Local Authorities.  Historically, not all Local Authorities have opted to take part in this scheme.

The response deadline for this tender is 12:00 pm on Monday 19^th October 2015.  Tenders received after this time and date will not be included in the evaluation process.

Yours sincerely,

Susan Fitzgerald.
