2. Scope of Work

This tender seeks the supply of one second-hand 6-seater vehicle for KARE, a voluntary organisation providing services for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

KARE will physically inspect the vehicle and have it inspected by a qualified mechanic to assess its suitability, year, kilometrage, and overall quality.

3. Background & buyer context

KARE is a voluntary organisation providing a comprehensive range of services for individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families across Counties Kildare, East Offaly, West Wicklow, and North Carlow. This procurement is for the supply of a single 6-seater vehicle to support KARE's operational needs. The tender documents do not specify a particular programme or policy driver for this procurement, nor do they mention an incumbent supplier. The primary strategic driver appears to be the operational requirement for a suitable vehicle to facilitate KARE's service delivery.
