    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    The Health Research Board (HRB) is the lead agency in Ireland supporting and

    funding health research.

    The HRB on behalf of the Department of Health (hereinafter referred to as

    the “Department”) invites tenders by open competition.

    The purpose of this tender is to invite applications to deliver Wave 3 and the

    Option to deliver Wave 4 of IDS-TILDA over the next 3 year cycle and a further 3

    year cycle for the Option linked to Wave 4. The IDS-TILDA study represents a

    critical source of evidence to assist policy makers and programme planners to

    better understand ageing for people with intellectual disability in Ireland across

    time and across a large number of domains.

    The goal of this next phase of IDS-TILDA is to continue the steady-state

    longitudinal data collection, building on previous Waves 1 and 2, to:

    • guide future planning, policies and services in ageing and disability in Ireland;

    • to propose enhancements and/or additions to the content, measures and

    methods used in previous waves of IDS-TILDA, where appropriate;

    • serve as a driver and facilitator of other innovative research sub-studies;

    • develop linkages and harmonisation efforts to enable comparative analyses

    with national and international partners working in the area of disability and

    ageing;

    • enhance public access to data from Wave 3 and 4 of IDS-TILDA.

    The maximum funding for Wave 3 is €600,000 (inclusive of VAT if applicable) and

    the HRB will reserve the option to extend the contract for Wave 4 which may be

    accepted or rejected by the HRB strictly at their sole discretion. The maximum

    price for Wave 4 will be based on the maximum price for Wave 3 adjusted by any

    movement in the Consumer Price Index using the date of the contract issued for

    Wave 3 as the base date for the indexation.
