The Irish Air Navigation Service

## Summary The Irish Air Navigation Service is procuring a "Smart Racking Solution" to provide high-density, secure storage for engineering spares in constrained spaces at their Dublin campus. The contract involves the supply and installation of two independent racking units with long-term operational support.

## Scope & Deliverables - Supply and installation of two independent smart racking units side-by-side. - System must ensure high density, security, efficiency, safety, and reliability. - Provision of maintainability and long-term operational support for the storage of engineering spares. - Performance location: Dublin (IE061).

## Key Requirements - Eligibility and selection criteria details are contained within the Procurement Document (not explicitly listed in the notice). - Tenderers must prepare a "Tenderers Statement" and "Declaration as to Personal Circumstances." - SMEs are explicitly noted as suitable for this procurement. - Specific technical qualifications or certifications are not detailed in the summary data; refer to Appendix 5 (Specifications) for exact technical specs.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated Value: €140,000 (excluding VAT). - Contract Duration: 36 months. - Submission Deadline: Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 00:00 IST. - Tender Validity: 180 days. - Framework/DPS: None.

## Bid Considerations - SME Friendly: The notice explicitly states suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises, suggesting a less complex process than high-value EU tenders. - Below Threshold: This is a national below-threshold contract, meaning standard EU procurement directives may not fully apply, potentially simplifying compliance but requiring careful review of the "Legal Basis: Other" clause. - Technical Specificity: The requirement for "smart" features and "constrained space" optimization suggests a need for specialized engineering design rather than standard off-the-shelf racking. - Timeline: The window is tight (approx. 5 weeks from publication to submission); immediate access to the full specification document is critical.
