    II.1.4)

    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    The Department has a requirement for the provision of secure, reliable, and cost-

    effective international courier services for outbound and inbound mail, to and from

    its headquarters offices in Dublin and Limerick and its network of missions and

    honorary consulates worldwide. The services will be required on both a

    scheduled and ad hoc basis, and will normally require “door-to-door” collection

    from and delivery to the Department’s headquarters offices in Dublin (6 locations

    in D1&2; 1 location in D 11) and Limerick, as well as from its offices in Balbriggan

    and Cork. Typical scheduled deliveries will include diplomatic mail as well as

    documents, parcels and other items. Collections from Dublin to missions are

    likely to be on a daily basis, the exact roster and mission schedule will be

    dependent on successful tenderers. Collections from Dublin for delivery to

    Honorary Consulates are generally less frequent. There will be an ongoing

    requirement for occasional special items to be delivered on an ad hoc basis to all

    destinations as required, and also as required for express deliveries for more

    urgent items. There may also be a requirement to assign a personal courier to

    escort confidential documents, but this should constitute less than 2% of total

    business.
