2023P180 - Provision Of Catering And Hospitality Services For The Central Bank Of Ireland

Central Bank of Ireland

The Central Bank is responsible for both central banking and financial regulation and has the primary objective of promoting systemic financial stability in Ireland and across the euro area. It ensures the proper and effective regulation of financial institutions and markets in Ireland while also ensuring that the best interests of consumers of financial services are protected. The Central Bank is tendering for the provision of catering and hospitality services in its premises, currently its Dockland campus and its premises in Sandyford (but additional or alternative locations may become relevant over the course of the contract term). The scope of services includes catering and hospitality services, contract management services, and provision of software, hardware and an app to support cashless payments for the Central Bankโ€™s locations. It is anticipated that all services to be provided by the successful Tenderer will be underpinned by technology and robust policies and procedures which will at all times reflect good industry practice within an environment of continuous improvement. The successful Tenderer will also support the Bank in its sustainability and Corporate and Social Responsibility (โ€œCSRโ€) objectives. Tenderers should be aware, having regard to the nature of the Central Bankโ€™s requirements that the estimated value of the Contract is the Central Bankโ€™s best estimate of the anticipated total value of the services. That figure is an estimate only and the total value may be significantly lower, or indeed significantly higher than, that estimate.

Deadline
