What is being bought
The International Fund for Ireland requires a Supplier to provide a comprehensive public relations service to its Board of the Fund. The Fund’s latest Annual Report can be accessed on the Fund’s website www.internationalfundforireland.com. The service to be provided must cover strategic communication as well as operational communication. In addition, the Supplier will be required to host, maintain and support the Fund’s website which also has a secure members area. It should be borne in mind that, while the Fund is a single, integrated, international organisation which focuses most of its activity on the twelve northern counties of the island of Ireland, it has an office in Belfast which covers activities in Northern Ireland and an office in Dublin which covers activities in the six Southern border counties. The Supplier will be required to provide services to the Fund in both jurisdictions and this contract is, therefore, in respect of the Fund’s PR requirements North and South. The Supplier must deliver the following throughout the lifetime of the contract: Website Hosting, Content Management, Support and Maintenance contract and any website redesign.
