Website Development, Support and Maintenance

EirGrid plc

EirGrid has a requirement for the development, maintenance and support service’s to support and enhance the existing websites detailed in the scope of requirements. The websites perform a vital function providing current information about the electricity market on the island of Ireland. It is envisaged that this function will grow throughout the lifetime of this contract and be able to adapt to the demands of the market. The current support and maintenance agreement enabled EirGrid to commence the transition from internal hosting and move into the cloud. On completion of the tender process it is expected that the winning tenderer will have been able to demonstrate an ability to expand on the work done to date and show that they can move the remaining websites whilst minimising impact to the business.
Candidates must confirm they are certified to supply, implement, and support Roxen.
