    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    Tote Ireland Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Horse Racing Ireland, with

    responsibility for the operation of a Totalisator on the 26 racecourses in the

    Republic of Ireland. Tote Ireland is at the heart of Irish Horseracing, providing a

    wide variety of betting options for all race goers. All profits made by Tote Ireland

    are used for the improvement of Irish Horseracing.

    Tote‘ is short for Totalisator and Tote Betting is similar to the Lotto. All the stakes

    on a race are pooled; a deduction is made to cover costs and contribution to

    racing. The remainder of the pool is divided by the number of winning units to

    give a dividend, which is inclusive of a €1 stake.

    Tote Ireland Ltd. is now seeking Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified

    service providers for the provision of a tote Wagering System.

    The current solution is a turn-key solution involving the provision of wagering

    terminals, a Tote Central System, and ancillary logistics services including the

    movement and installation of equipment. For its off-course activities a similar

    complete solution is in place; with a fully hosted, web based interface for their

    contact centre and web offerings. To identify the best solution, Tote has split the

    requirement into three separate lots:

     Lot 1: Contract for the Provision of a Tote Central System

     Lot 2: Contract for the Provision of Logistics Services to transport and

    install Tote Equipment

     Lot 3: Contract for the Provision of a Web, Contact Centre and Mobile

    System

    The contracts will be awarded for an initial period of approximately 5 years. The maximum potential duration of each contract is 10 years.

    Please consult the associated documentation for full details and instruction

    regarding submissions in respect of this competition.
