Technical requirements: The Contracting Authority proposes to engage in a process for the establishment of a multi-party framework agreement for the provision of Homeless Accommodation Inspection Service at centres within the Dublin Regional Homeless Executive.
Emergency accommodation is an accommodation measure to meet the needs of people who   are experiencing homelessness. It is part of a strategy to protect people from rough sleeping. The overall focus of homeless services is homeless prevention and housing led solutions to homelessness. However, there are increasing numbers of people presenting as homeless and so an interim measure is required.

This is the first stage of this competitive procedure whereby any interested party may submit an application in order to be considered for inclusion on the tender list.  Following evaluation, the 5 top scoring applicants will be invited to tender, should that number qualify. Where there is a tie for 5th place, all Applicants from 1st to 5th place may be invited to participate in the tender. For the purposes of this exercise, a tie for 5th place is deemed to occur where two or more Applicants have identical scores.
Based on the responses to the qualification questionnaire and the application of the criteria and rules contained therein a tender list of five firms will be identified (subject to that number qualifying).
Previous procurement was cancelled and the contracting authority has an urgent requirement to put a contract/ Framework Agreement in place as soon as possible.
