TENDER DESCRIPTION
RTÉ seeks a single-party framework agreement for the provision of personal computing devices and associated peripherals. The core scope includes supplying devices with Windows 11 Professional (64-bit), pre-applying RTÉ’s standard image, pre-registering devices in RTÉ’s MS Entra tenant, and providing hardware driver packs deployable via Microsoft Configuration Manager (MCM), along with a minimum 3-year warranty. Technical requirements mandate devices with Bitlocker and TPM chips, compatibility with existing RTÉ infrastructure, and software that is currently supported, defect-free, and virus-free, with English as the working language. Tenderers must demonstrate an annual turnover of at least €500,000 (excluding VAT) for the past three financial years, or since establishment if more recent. The contract offers an initial three-year term, with RTÉ reserving the option to extend for two additional one-year periods, for a total potential duration of five years, with tenders due by September 7, 2026.
