The Contracting Authority wishes to inform all interested parties that the deadline for submission of tenders in relation to this competition has been extended by 30 calendar days.
This extension is being provided in recognition of the fact that the original timeline falls during a period when many organisations experience reduced availability of key personnel due to annual leave, particularly during the month of August. The Contracting Authority is keen to support broad participation and ensure fair and open competition.
Original deadline: 25 August
Revised deadline: 30 September (17:00 Irish Standard Time)
The deadline for requests for clarification has been revised also to 16 September (17:00 Irish Standard Time)
All other aspects of the competition remain unchanged.
