[DescrShort]
Fáilte Ireland is seeking to appoint strategic partners to provide specialist advice with regard to analysis of investments and investment compliance
We want the successful tenderers to continue working with us beyond the conventional end of project presentation and/or briefing. The strategic partner should continue to work with Fáilte Ireland to ensure that insights and advice are effectively incorporated into decision-making.
This ITT is for a non-exclusive contract with Fáilte Ireland. While Fáilte Ireland envisage the appointed strategic partner becoming our lead supplier for that areas of work, we still retain the right to commission economic advice beyond the framework agreements.
Provision of Specialist Advice Relating to Investment Appraisal/Analysis and Measurement
Fáilte Ireland invites tenders to form a multi-party Framework Agreement for Economic support to provide specialist advice with regard to analysis of tourism investment.

Fáilte Ireland is seeking to appoint strategic partners to provide specialist advice with regard to analysis of investments and investment compliance
Fáilte Ireland is seeking to establish a genuinely collaborative research relationship with the appointed strategic partner. Rather than a supplier becoming involved in individual economic analysis projects, after Fáilte Ireland has decided to undertake them, we need our strategic partner to assist with framing projects from the outset.
