[DescrProcurement]

It may also be used to include other public WiFi services on behalf of Dublin City Council including connectivity for Euro 2020 Fan Zones and other events or programs across the administrative area in order to support digital connectivity and inclusion.
Dublin City Council through its Smart City program was successful in achieving a maximum allocation of four vouchers worth €15,000 each to install or upgrade public or community WiFi services across the administrative area as part of the recent WiFi4EU funding call. The vouchers will cover the cost of the equipment, installations and connections only. All Tenderer’s must register as a supplier on the WiFi4EU platform in order to claim payment for the vouchers. See: https://wifi4eu.ec.europa.eu/#/supplier-landing
Note: The WiFi4EU voucher element must be drawn down by the successful tenderer directly from the EU. Further information regarding the WiFi4EU initiative, criteria, payment procedures and processes and other general information can be found via this link: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/wifi4eu-questions-and-answers#Implementation.
The Department of Rural and Community Development will match the funding provided by the European Commission, doubling the value of the investment in public Wi-Fi networks and supporting installation costs and extension of the network in Local Authorities.
All additional costs will be invoiced directly to Dublin City Council.
