Ireland Reaching Out to its Diaspora Abroad

Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade/An Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha agus Trádála

Tenderers are sought to deliver a large scale diaspora engagement project, using innovative technological solutions to link the global Irish with local communities, or specific communities of interest, in Ireland. It is proposed that the successful contractor will be funded for 2 years with an option to extend for a third year through a contract, on completion of the tender process. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) will form part of a contract which will define exactly what services the service provider will provide and the required level or standard for those services. The project will be funded through the Department's Diaspora Affairs budget stream.
The key aim of the project will be to generate a significant increase or enhancement in diaspora engagement through use of innovative technology.
