Notification of Change of Legal Form
Please note the following change to the legal form of the planned procurement for the Irish Flood Integrated Communication System (IFICS) from a "Single Supplier Framework" to a "Services Contract" between Met Éireann and the successful tenderer.
This change only affects the legal mechanism of engaging with the successful tenderer once the procurement competition is completed.
References to framework agreement in the Qualification Questionnaire (particularly sections 3 and 4) will no longer apply to the extent that they detail how the framework agreement will operate. For the avoidance of doubt the details relating to value, duration, services required are not changed.
Details of the Services Contract will be provided at RFT stage and will be published with the RFT.
Please be assured that this change in no way requires any change to your replies to the questionnaire in this stage one – Pre Qualification Phase. As a courtesy, should you wish to review your reply, we extend the deadline for submissions of the qualification questionnaire until 12:00 noon (Irish time) on the 19th of November 2020.
