Single-party framework agreement for programme management services for the HBAN Programme

Enterprise Ireland

The Governments of both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland recognise the importance of encouraging new innovative high potential start-ups for the growth and future prosperity of the economy. To facilitate such activity, it is acknowledged that a stable and appropriate supply of finance is required. The objective of the HBAN Programme is to deliver a regionally focused Business Angel ecosystem that reflects international best practice, with more active and better trained Business Angels, well-formed and functioning Syndicates who will ultimately invest more capital into a larger number of early stage companies.
Enterprise Ireland and InterTradeIreland (together, ‘the Contracting Authority') are seeking tenders for the establishment of a single-operator framework agreement for the provision of programme management services for the HBAN Programme. The framework operator will be required to manage and operate the HBAN Programme and deliver a range of services that will develop the overall Business Angel Ecosystem and facilitate investment into early stage companies.
The framework agreement will be established on foot of an initial contract for programme management services as further described in section 3 of the Invitation to Tender document.
