2. Scope of Work

Foras na Gaeilge ran this procurement for “Club Leabhar ar Líne agus Seirbhísí Gaolmhara” as an operational contract requiring implementation and sustained service execution. The extracted pack showed qualification-stage material with references to later ITT technical depth; practical activity therefore centred on building, integrating, and operating the specified service stack with compliant reporting and handover obligations where stated. Constituent activities and named work elements in the supplied extracts:

  • Core service configuration, integration, and ongoing support obligations were referenced but not numerically defined in the extract.
  • ITT-stage documents were expected to carry the granular technical schedules, acceptance tests, and phased rollout details.
  • The bidder had to evidence ability to mobilise, operate, and maintain the contracted service profile for the full term. Non-binding monetary references in the source were treated as context only and were not used as qualification thresholds.

3. Background & buyer context

The extract showed a structured PQQ-to-ITT sequence intended to shortlist capable bidders before full award-stage submission. Programme and policy framing was only partially visible, but continuity and modernisation drivers were evident in the procurement design.
