## Key Requirements - Proven experience in designing and delivering educational or behavioral training programmes. - Expertise in crisis management and behavioural support within educational settings. - Eligibility to bid under the Open procedure. - Demonstrated capability to work with public sector educational institutions. - Specific certifications or qualifications in special education, psychology, or behavioural therapy are likely required (standard for this sector, though not explicitly listed in the snippet).

## Bid Considerations - High Value Opportunity: The €2m estimated value indicates a significant contract, suitable for established training providers or consortia with substantial capacity. - Specialized Expertise Required: Success depends on demonstrating deep subject matter expertise in special education and crisis intervention, not just general training delivery. - Competitive Landscape: As an Open procedure, the market is accessible, but bidders must differentiate through proven track records in the Irish educational sector. - Timeline Pressure: The submission deadline is August 22, 2025, requiring prompt preparation of technical and financial documentation.
