Technical requirements: The Central Bank will shortly be tendering for catering and hospitality services for its Docklands campus and its premises in Sandyford. The scope of services is anticipated to include catering and hospitality services, contract management services, and provision of 
software, hardware and an app to support cashless payments for its locations within Dublin. It is anticipated that all services to be provided by the successful Tenderer will be underpinned by technology and robust policies and procedures which will at all times reflect good industry practice within an environment of continuous improvement. The successful Tenderer will also support the Bank in its sustainability and Corporate and Social Responsibility (“CSR”) objectives. The duration of the contract is intended to be 60 months post-mobilisation, although the Central Bank has the right to terminate it earlier. The Central Bank also has the right to extend the duration of the contract by any period or series of periods up to a total of 24 
months, so that the contract may ultimately have a maximum total duration of 84 months post mobilisation. As part of this tender process, Tenderers will have an opportunity to visit the 
Central Bank’s premises prior to Tender submission (date to be confirmed). Tenderers may be required to go through a Garda Vetting process in order to come onsite. As this process can take time, in order to assist interested parties in completing the process in time for the site visit, interested parties are requested to contact tenders@centralbank.ie with the names and 
email addresses of 2 people per interested company for submission to the Central Bank’s Garda Vetting process. Tenderers are requested to action this as soon as possible. The Central Bank’s intention is that only these 2 individuals will then be invited to the site visits.
