It is a commercial semi-state body that is responsible for the administration, promotion and development of Horse Racing in Ireland. HRI subsidiaries include Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Ltd (ITM), Tote Ireland Ltd and HRI Racecourses Ltd. consisting of Leopardstown Club Ltd., Fairyhouse Club Ltd., Navan Races Ltd. and Tipperary Races PLC. Tote Ireland Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Horse Racing Ireland, with responsibility for the operation of a Totalisator on the 26 racecourses in the island of Ireland.

The estimated value of this framework agreement is approximately €100,000 p.a. for delivery of a full On Course Graphics Solution. The maximum value of this framework agreement will not exceed €800,000. While Tote Ireland Ltd is the main user of this framework, it remains open to be used by Horse Racing Ireland and its other Subsidiaries should the need arise.

The Contracting Authority reserves the right to use this framework for any other business venture or industry body in which it is involved. Tote Ireland requires a comprehensive graphics system to deliver course information such as pricing, horse names, jockeys, trainer time form stars, and graphics across all 26 Irish racecourses. The system must support both fixed and temporary locations, ensuring reliable transmission of defined channels.
