Verified opportunity overview
Northside Partnership CLG is procuring a managed IT support service that combines day-to-day helpdesk delivery with strategic technology guidance for its Dublin operations. The opportunity is relevant to managed-service providers able to support users and systems while also advising the organisation on its technology direction.
Current status and key dates
The official eTenders workspace showed a clarification deadline of 24 July 2026 at 12:00, a submission deadline of 31 July 2026 at 12:00 and an opening time of 31 July 2026 at 12:30, all in Europe/Dublin. The initial contract term is stated as three years. Suppliers must verify the current workspace for later clarifications, replacement documents or deadline changes.
Scope and deliverables
The confirmed public scope is managed IT support, helpdesk provision and strategic IT guidance. The opened public summary does not state the device estate, user volumes, operating locations, support hours, response targets, infrastructure platforms, cloud services, cyber-security tooling or project workload. Those service details remain in the tender pack.
Lots and contract structure
The opened public workspace showed no lots. ContractLens therefore presents the procurement as one managed-service contract. The detailed documents may still divide the service into operational, advisory, transition or project workstreams.
Supplier requirements
The opened public workspace does not expose minimum turnover, insurance, reference-contract, staffing, certification, security, data-protection or technical-capacity thresholds. MSPs should verify every mandatory declaration, evidence schedule and service-capability requirement before deciding whether the opportunity fits.
Submission and award method
The official eTenders workspace controls the response process. The public view identifies an open procedure using the most economically advantageous tender method, but it does not expose the detailed response schedules, pricing format, mandatory attachments, award subcriteria or weights. Those requirements must be read from the current tender documents.
Value explanation
The official workspace states an estimated value of EUR 150,000. The opened public view does not state whether that figure includes or excludes VAT. It is an estimated procurement value and should not be treated as guaranteed spend, annual revenue or a minimum contract commitment.
Amendments and status history
No separate amendment or corrigendum was identified in the public workspace opened for this review. Suppliers should nevertheless inspect the live workspace for clarification answers, revised files, replacement schedules and any change to the submission timetable.
Supplier relevance
The opportunity may suit Irish MSPs, service-desk providers and IT consultancies that can evidence reliable operational support and strategic advisory capability. This is not an eligibility decision or a recommendation to bid; the buyer's mandatory thresholds remain controlling.
Procurement data limitations and missing details
The opened public workspace does not expose service levels, support hours, estate size, security architecture, staffing model, transition obligations, award weights or eligibility thresholds. The VAT basis of the stated EUR 150,000 estimate is also unknown in the public view.
