Description of the procurement
The Houses of the Oireachtas Commission, a body corporate, (hereinafter referred to as “the Contracting Authority”) hereby invites tenders from interested parties for the provision of services for the management, operation and maintenance of technical facilities for the televising of parliamentary proceedings and the Oireachtas TV channel.
The Contracting Authority is responsible for the running of the Houses of the Oireachtas, or Irish Parliament (Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann), and the administration and management of the Houses of the Oireachtas Service (further information is available at www.oireachtas.ie).
As the services in question fall within the categorisation of Title III, the Contracting Authority is free to choose any award procedure on condition that it observes the principles of equal treatment and transparency at all times. The Contracting Authority is therefore employing a Single Stage Tendering Procedure involving Negotiation in order to establish this framework.
The procedure involves a number of elements:
(a) submission of tenders by those responding to this competition;
(b) evaluation of those tenders against the award criteria including confirmation they meet the selection criteria;
(c) invitation to tenderers to attend a negotiation meeting at which all aspects of the tender submitted may be discussed, including costs.
(d) tenderers will be accorded an opportunity to submit a best and final offer, which will be assessed against the award criteria.
It should be noted that the Contracting Authority also reserves the right to award the contract directly following receipt of initial tenders without recourse to negotiations with individual tenderers.
Additional contracts may arise during the lifetime of the framework for Broadcasting related services for Parliamentary Proceedings and the Oireachtas TV channel.
