2. Scope of Work

The contractor will provide a corporate culture audit for AirNav Ireland. This audit is intended to assess the organisation's culture, likely in relation to its operational environment and employee engagement. The services encompass the assessment and reporting on the current state of corporate culture within AirNav Ireland.

The specific activities and requirements for the audit are detailed in Appendix 1 (Section 4) of the Request for Tenders (RFT). While the RFT does not explicitly detail day-to-day operational tasks, the scope implies a structured approach to data collection, analysis, and reporting. Tenderers are expected to demonstrate expertise in assessing organisational culture, particularly within a regulated aviation environment.

Key components of the required expertise include:

• Demonstrated Experience: High level of experience and expertise in the field of Online Assessment Platform for Student Controller Programme (SCP). This specific mention suggests a focus on a particular operational area or a need for a platform that can support such assessments.
• Previous Contracts: Vendors must provide details of previous contracts of a similar scale and nature to this tender requirement.
• References: Three reference details of current or recent contracts (within the last two years) for the services being tendered for are required. These references will also serve as testimonials for the Tenderer.
• Company Information: Tenderers must provide comprehensive company details, including registered address, contact personnel, trading status, and employee numbers.
• Health & Safety, Environment & Sustainability: Tenderers must outline their organisation's policies and systems related to Health & Safety, Environment, and Sustainability. This includes documented policies, risk assessment processes, training, accident reporting, and environmental impact assessments.

The tender documents do not specify volumes or specific workflows beyond the requirement for an "Online Assessment Platform for Student Controller Programme (SCP)". The audit's primary output will be a report detailing the findings and recommendations regarding AirNav Ireland's corporate culture.

3. Background & buyer context

AirNav Ireland was incorporated on 2nd February 2023, established under the Air Navigation and Transport Act 2022. This incorporation followed a State decision to separate air traffic management functions from The Irish Aviation Authority, creating a distinct commercial entity. AirNav Ireland operates as a Designated Activity Company (DAC), with shares held by the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Plan Delivery and Reform, and the Minister for Transport. The company employs approximately 620 individuals.

AirNav Ireland is responsible for air traffic management and related services within Irish-controlled airspace. Its functions include air traffic control, ATC flight information, aeronautical information, and North Atlantic communications. The company adheres to international standards set by organisations such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation, European Aviation Safety Agency, EUROCONTROL, and the European Union.

The company operates from multiple locations across Ireland, including Dublin, Shannon, and Cork. This procurement is conducted under an open procedure, in line with EU procurement regulations, with the potential contract duration of up to four years. The tender for a corporate culture audit indicates a strategic focus on organisational development and employee engagement within this newly established, critical national infrastructure provider.

• Tenderers must declare conformance (if any) to the ISO 9000 series or equivalent standards.
• No other specific certifications are mandated as mandatory selection criteria in the provided text.

Tenderers must also pass or fail each selection criterion. Failure in any criterion leads to exclusion. Reliance on subcontractors for meeting selection criteria requires them to submit separate eESPDs and provide proof of resource availability.
