Provision of Assisted Human Reproduction (AHR) Medical Services

Health Service Executive (HSE)

This process is for the provision of AHR services.
The HSE is planning for the operationalisation of both publicly and privately provided AHR services. It is anticipated by the HSE that in the short to medium term, the majority of services will need to be provided via the private sector whilst the HSE build up a network of public capacity. It is currently planned that these services (the subject of this procurement process) will commence as of September 2023.
This process is facilitated by way of an Authorisation Scheme.
The reasons that the process is also being advertised on eTenders as an open procedure is to boost participation in the Authorisation Scheme, facilitate the submission of documents to a secure portal and to allow interested parties to request clarifications in a transparent and familiar manner.
All documentation associated with this process will be available via www.etenders.gov.ie
