Single Party Framework for Specialist Economic Advice

Reference Number : RS/2019/02

Failte Ireland is seeking to appoint a strategic partner to undertake sectoral research/economic analysis.

Failte Ireland is seeking to appoint a strategic partner to undertake sectoral research/economic analysis.

Failte Ireland is seeking to establish a genuinely collaborative research relationship with the appointed strategic partner. Rather than a supplier becoming involved in individual economic analysis projects, after Failte Ireland has decided to undertake them, we need our strategic partner to assist with framing projects from the outset.

We want the successful tenderer to continue working with us beyond the conventional end of project presentation and/or briefing. The strategic partner should continue to work with Failte Ireland to ensure that insights and advice are effectively incorporated into decision-making.

This ITT is for a non-exclusive contract with Failte Ireland. While Failte Ireland envisage the appointed strategic partner becoming our lead supplier for that areas of work, we still retain the right to commission economic advice beyond the Framework Agreements.

Provision of specialist advice relating to sectorial studies.

Failte Ireland invites tenders to form a single-party Framework Agreements for economic support to undertake sectoral research/economic analysis as required during the life of this framework. These projects may be once-off standalone projects or may be continuous projects over a number of years. The projects can involve any area of tourism.
