A Framework for the provision of International Courier Services
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade/An Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha agus Trádála
The Department has a requirement for the provision of secure, reliable, and cost- effective international courier services for outbound and inbound mail, to and from its headquarters offices in Dublin and Limerick and its network of missions and honorary consulates worldwide. The services will be required on both a scheduled and ad hoc basis, and will normally require “door-to-door” collection from and delivery to the Department's headquarters offices in Dublin (6 locations in D1&2; 1 location in D 11) and Limerick, as well as from its offices in Balbriggan and Cork. Typical scheduled deliveries will include diplomatic mail as well as documents, parcels and other items. Collections from Dublin to missions are likely to be on a daily basis, the exact roster and mission schedule will be dependent on successful tenderers. Collections from Dublin for delivery to Honorary Consulates are generally less frequent. There will be an ongoing requirement for occasional special items to be delivered on an ad hoc basis to all destinations as required, and also as required for express deliveries for more urgent items. There may also be a requirement to assign a personal courier to escort confidential documents, but this should constitute less than 2 % of total business.
