## Summary TG4 is procuring software development services to build and publish the new TG4 Player Apps, transitioning the service from a catch-up model to a destination platform. The contract focuses on the build phase following a completed redesign, targeting a four-year engagement for delivery in Ireland.

## Scope & Deliverables - Development, build, and publication of TG4 Player Apps. - Implementation of the redesigned player experience to enhance audience engagement and content discovery. - Delivery of a platform that supports Irish culture and connects with the global Irish-speaking community.

## Key Requirements - Eligibility criteria and specific technical qualifications are detailed in the Procurement Document. - Tenderers must comply with standard exclusion grounds outlined in the procurement documents. - No specific certifications are listed in the notice; refer to the RFT package for detailed selection criteria.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated value: €50,000 (excluding VAT). - Submission deadline: 09 June 2026, 17:00 IST. - Contract duration: 4 years. - Tender validity: 12 months. - No framework agreement or Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) applies.

## How to Bid - Submission method: Electronic submission via the eTenders portal is mandatory. - Address: https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/viewTenders.do?resourceId=8191959 - Languages: Tenders must be submitted in English. - Key documents: Prepare the RFT Package (available via the procurement documents link) and complete the Tender Structure XML.

## Bid Considerations - Low Value, High Specificity: The €50k budget is modest for a full app build, suggesting a focused scope or phased delivery; ensure resource allocation aligns with this value. - Strategic Fit: Ideal for firms with expertise in media streaming, Irish language content, or cultural platform development. - Compliance: Strict adherence to electronic submission formats and the 09 June deadline is critical; late bids will be rejected. - Risk: The "build phase" implies dependency on the prior redesign; clarify interface specifications and technical debt in the RFT to avoid scope creep.

Open procedure. Any interested supplier may submit a tender. There is no shortlisting stage — all compliant bids received by the deadline are evaluated against the published award criteria. It is the most common route for Irish public contracts and is open to SMEs and new entrants.
