Summary

Machine-generated summary

Enterprise Ireland is establishing a Panel of providers for the coordination, design, implementation and training of National Start-up Accelerator Programmes, part of the Startup Ireland initiative under its 2025-2029 strategy. The Panel covers sectoral and specialist accelerator programmes, and Enterprise Ireland may or may not issue call-off contracts. An AI Specialist Accelerator Programme is planned, with an Initial Call-Off Contract awarded immediately after Panel establishment. Applications and a separate response to the Supplementary Invitation to Tender, for AI specialists only, must be submitted via the eTenders post-box at www.etenders.gov.ie. The closing date for the initial work is Monday 7 September 2026 at 12:00 Irish time. No estimated contract value is stated.

Description

This Competition forms one of three (3) proposed programmes (outlined below) under Enterprise Ireland’s new National Accelerator Programme, a flagship initiative under Startup Ireland as part of Enterprise Ireland’s "Delivering for Ireland, Leading Globally (2025-2029)" strategy. Enterprise Ireland will use the Panel as and when requirements within their scope arise. However, there is no obligation upon Enterprise Ireland to use the Panel in every instance. Should the circumstances arise, the Panel as a whole may be terminated in accordance with the Panel terms and conditions. The Panel may also be employed for the award of accelerator related programmes connected with new sectoral / specialist needs in response to industry developments, trends and new technologies. To this end Enterprise Ireland will exercise its sole discretion in determining whether new accelerator programmes come within the sector or specialist area initially indicated by Applicants. Panel Members may be requested to deliver accelerator programmes falling within the scope of the panel either fully, partially, or variations of same including delivery of accelerator programmes which are closely related. Enterprise Ireland currently has a requirement for an AI Specialist Accelerator Programme and therefore intends to award an Initial Call-Off Contract immediately following the establishment of the Panel. Applicants should note that the closing date for the call for initial work is Monday 7th of September 2026 @ 12 Noon Irish Time. Applicants, who are in the AI specialist area, are requested to submit, with their Application for admission on to the Panel, a separate tender response (“Response”) to the Supplementary Invitation to Tender published with this Panel Application. The Response to the Supplementary Invitation to Tender should be submitted via the eTenders post-box facility on www.etenders.gov.ie only, as a separate document. Responses to the Supplementary Invitation to Tender must use the response document issued with the Supplementary Invitation to Tender. For the avoidance of any doubt Applicants (in the AI specialist area) are not required to submit a response to the Supplementary Invitation to Tender. The full scope of requirements under this Panel can be found in the Panel documents.
