Iarnrod Eireann-Irish Rail

Irish Rail on behalf of the CIÉ group of companies invites applications from suitably qualified companies to participate in the Pre Qualification process for the provision of a Printer Management Solution. CIÉ has a geographically dispersed number of locations around the Republic of Ireland that utilise printing facilities. There are 3 500 + users that require access to printing facilities in these locations. At ITN stage we will be seeking innovative, print management solutions from tenderers for a managed print solution across the CIE network. Some of the Key elements to be addressed under this process are, Print Facilities: The contractor will provide all printing needs associated with the requirements of CIÉ. This will predominantly include standard A4 and A3 printing in both mono and colour using an array of print/imaging devices capable of duplex printing, photocopying, collating and stapling. Pull printing will also be required. Scanning Facilities: The contractor will provide all scanning needs associated with the requirements of CIÉ. This will predominantly include standard A4 and A3 scanning and provide print to PDF and print to e-mail functionality directly from the supplied printers. Managed Consumables: This will include the supply of all networked print and imaging devices (other than where current CIÉ devices are deemed suitable for re-use), the provision of all necessary software toner, suitable paper types, printer consumables, maintenance and training. Exclusions: MPS does not include printing that is usually produced outside of the office environment such as leaflets and posters. Further high level details with respect to Implementation and Installation, Device Requirements and Service requirements can be obtained from the attached PQQ document. Term: The term of this award is 3 years with an option to extend for 2 additional periods of 1 year each. CIE will use the Negotiated procedure to conduct this tender process.
