DOC05 - IT Infrastructure Upgrade & Support

Descriptions

The Daughters of Charity Disability Support Services CLG (DOCDSS) provides supports to persons with an intellectual disability in Dublin, Limerick and Tipperary. The organisation is a member of the Federation of Voluntary Bodies, an alliance of the 60 organisations within Ireland that provide services to people with intellectual disabilities. In comparison to many smaller locally-based organisations, the organisation is a national organisation. It is one of the larger agencies in Ireland, caring for over 2,500 people with intellectual disabilities both in full-time care and in specialist centres on a daily basis in Ireland. The DOCDSS have a high dependence on IT for the support of the organisation and now plan to invest in replacement of its IT and network infrastructure. The IT and Network support requirements of the DOCDSS have also continued to evolve over the last number of years. We now need to consolidate our historic multi-site server infrastructure in a new mostly centralised infrastructure upgrade. It has been decided that the best way forward for the DOCDSS is to select a suitably qualified tenderer to meet our network, server and compute needs. The contract will be for an initial period of three years with an option to extend for three further periods of 12months each. Please consult the associated tender documents, available for download, for full details of requirements.
