dlr WiFi4EU - Design, supply and installation of a fully supported WiFi network of access points at designated locations around Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County, under the WiFi4EU programme.

Descriptions

The WiFi4EU initiative is a support scheme for the provision of free Wi-Fi access in indoor or outdoor public spaces (e.g., public administration premises, health centres, public parks and squares). This will bring communities more closely into the Digital Single Market, give users access to the Gigabit society, improve digital literacy and complement the public services provided in those spaces. Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council have been successful in securing funding under this scheme and are now planning to roll out a free public Wi-Fi network across the county.  The funding granted takes the form of a voucher scheme. Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council secured the maximum FOUR vouchers permittable. The value of the individual voucher (€15,000) will be match funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development (DRCD) meaning a total of up to €30,000 per voucher area.  The Wifi4EU voucher element must be drawn down directly from the EU as per criteria listed in Appendix 1.  See division of respective municipalities below and equated source of funding. A list of the locations within each Municipality is included in Appendix 3.  Table 1 Municipality Area Reference Funders Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown A Voucher A Wifi4EU / DLRCC Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown B Voucher B Wifi4EU / DLRCC Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown C Voucher C Wifi4EU / DLRCC Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown D Voucher D Wifi4EU / DLRCC The successful tenderer will recover the value of these vouchers directly from the EU via the WiFi4EU portal, and match funding from DRCD, once conditions outlined in appendices 1 and 2 have been adhered to and the Installation Report submitted and validated by all parties in the WiFi4EU portal.
