Pre-Market Engagement regarding the appointment of a Client Side Support Team (CSST)
Göng&Brú is seeking to appoint a Client Side Support Team (CSST) to act as its exclusive client side advisory partner with the potential to support the full life of the programme. During the term of appointment, the CSST will be expected to work exclusively with Göng&Brú and will not hold any role with any contractor, designer, financer, or other supply chain participant on any of the projects to be delivered through the Programme. The CSST will be responsible for providing Göng&Brú with the breadth and depth of expertise necessary to act as an informed, capable, and commercially astute buyer across all stages of each project delivered through the Programme, from early development and financing through to construction, commissioning, and operations. Prior to launching a formal procurement process, Göng&Brú is inviting market input to inform and refine its thinking on project scope, delivery structures and procurement strategy. Whilst this PME is focused on the CSST Procurement (as this will be the first procurement to formally come to market), Göng&Brú would be interested to receive questionnaire responses from any organisations that might see themselves potentially competing to be involved in this wider investment programme from any perspective, whether that be as a supplier, funder or a contractor. Notwithstanding this, please note that future PME exercises, focused on other future contracts, will likely be launched in forthcoming months and years. Göng&Brú is keen to receive market views on which services should fall within the CSST scope, which should be retained in-house, and whether any services are missing or should be structured differently. Göng&Brú is at an early stage of developing its procurement strategy but its current preliminary thinking is that it would appoint a single integrated CSST partner; and use a procurement procedure that allows meaningful dialogue with bidders to refine the scope and delivery approach before contract award. - Enterprise IrelandDublin
2025 / 007 The Design, Recruitment, Delivery and Management of a Market Entry Skills and Capability Development Programme – Get Exporting Programme for Enterprise Ireland
Enterprise Ireland’s new strategy ‘Delivering for Ireland, Leading Globally (2025-2029)’ outlines our aims and ambitions for the Irish enterprise base and its purpose to ‘Accelerate Sustainable Irish Business’. The ambition over the next five years is to support Irish exporting companies to make an even greater contribution to the Irish economy through international growth and nationwide employment, with the long-term ambition that exporting Irish companies become the primary driver of the Irish economy. The OECD and the SME Taskforce established that there was a structural issue in Ireland’s internationalisation performance, stating that Ireland had a low ‘export propensity’. Key recommendations from the OECD, SME Taskforce and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment “White Paper on Enterprise 2030” were made to address this, including the development of a single offering and programme that would support companies in a holistic way to build the capability and capacity to meet the key requirements at each stage of the their export journey. Enterprise Ireland has, under the ‘Compete’ pillar of our new strategy, committed to supporting 1,700 additional Irish-owned exporters by 2029, in collaboration with the Local Enterprises Offices. The full list of requirements are contained within the tender documents. All responses must be submitted in a ZIP FILE format. - Sarpsborg kommuneSarpsborgDeadline: Jul 03

As a part of this process, the contracting authority would like to hold one-to-one market dialogues before any competition.

The contracting authority would like input and updated knowledge on available systems and business models.

Scope: The total annual amount of textiles included in the procurement is estimated to be approx. 135 tonnes. These are textiles that are part of the municipality ́s statutory obligation that are currently collected for material recovery and are delivered in textile towers marked "damaged textiles" at the recycling stations. The 135 tonnes are currently distributed over an average of 38 per cent reuse quality, 25 per cent for recycling materials and 37 per cent for energy recovery. The final scope will depend on which municipalities and intermunicipal companies choose to participate in the competition. Some municipalities have existing systems or agreements that can affect both participation and volume. Market dialogue: Before the market dialogue, the contracting authority asks that tenderers prepare to present a system aimed at: • The contracting authority ́s need for effective and user friendly collection, with a focus on the degree of collection and quality. • Sorting textiles for preparation for reuse and recycling of materials, including the expected distribution between reuse and recycling. • Organisation of the value chain, including logistics, reception and further treatment. • Expected costs connected to collection, sorting and processing (per activity) • Need for infrastructure, including collection points and containers • Traceability, reporting and documentation of material currents • When at the latest a scheme can be up and running in relevant municipalities. • Other conditions that the tenderer believes are relevant for the assignment.
