Location: Dublin 2, Ireland (Onsite, Occasional travel may also be required to multiple sites outside of Dublin to the supported locations listed below)

Start Date: 01/01/2027

Contract Duration: 12 Months with further extension

Client Overview

The Client operates a Shared ICT Service supporting approximately 5,500 staff and contractors across a diverse range of agencies and bodies at 80+ locations throughout the State. The service supports a geographically dispersed workforce operating in office-based, hybrid and remote environments. The number of supported users, locations and devices may increase or decrease during the contract as organisations join or leave the Shared Service.

Supported Locations

The service currently operates across locations throughout Ireland, including:

• Dublin: multiple central and regional offices, including Ely Place, St. Stephen's Green, Burgh Quay, Mount Street, Bishop's Square, Dublin Airport, Smithfield, Arbour Hill, Mountjoy, Ballymun, Finglas, Donaghmede, Blanchardstown, Clondalkin and the Criminal Courts of Justice.
• Leinster: Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Meath, Louth, Offaly and Wicklow.
• Munster: Cork, Kerry, Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford.
• Connacht: Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo and Westmeath.
• Ulster: Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim and Monaghan.

The estate also includes prisons, detention facilities, courts, airports and specialist locations.

Nature and Scope of Services

The Client manages DSS for end users across all supported locations. The service includes the support, deployment, maintenance and lifecycle management of ICT equipment and end-user services.

Supported equipment includes, but is not limited to:

• Desktop PCs and laptops
• Microsoft Intune-managed devices
• Cisco VoIP phones and related devices
• Smartphones, mobile phones and tablets
• Printers, scanners and multifunction devices
• Video conferencing equipment
• Franking machines
• Monitors, docking stations, webcams, headsets, keyboards, mice and other peripherals
• Specialist and accessibility technologies, including Dragon, JAWS, ZoomText and Fusion
• Customised workstation setups for specialist users

Supported ICT Services and Platforms

DSS also supports users with:

• Microsoft 365 / Office 365 and approved applications
• Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, Zoom and Cisco Jabber
• Microsoft Intune
• Remote access solutions
• Video conferencing and collaboration services

The Client is undertaking a major endpoint modernisation programme, moving from traditional on-premises management towards Microsoft Intune and cloud-based endpoint management.

This includes:

• Microsoft Intune enrolment and management
• Windows Autopilot provisioning
• Increased use of cloud-managed devices
• Modern workplace and endpoint security technologies

Field Engineers must therefore support both traditional and modern endpoint environments throughout the transition.

Approximately:

• 4,000 Cisco VoIP devices , including desk and mobile devices
• 2,000 smartphones
• 200 talk-and-text mobile phones
• A wide range of peripherals and specialist equipment
• Most PCs and laptops are Dell, HP or Lenovo.

Endpoint management currently uses:

• Microsoft Intune

Other management platforms include:

• Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM/CUCA) - VoIP
• XEN Mobile, Microsoft Intune and Apple enterprise enrolment services - mobile devices

The proportion of Intune-managed devices is expected to increase throughout the contract.

In addition to standard deskside support, Field Engineers will be required to undertake:

• Intune enrolment and troubleshooting
• Device refresh and replacement programmes
• Data and user-profile migration
• Hardware lifecycle management
• Asset verification and inventory support
• Hybrid and remote workforce support
• Endpoint security remediation
• Microsoft 365 application and service support
• Device compliance and Conditional Access troubleshooting
• Office moves, builds and other project activities

Most incidents are expected to be resolved remotely or during the first onsite visit.

Engineers must therefore have strong remote troubleshooting skills and experience supporting cloud-managed devices operating outside the Client's corporate network.

6. Service Growth and Change

The scope of the service is expected to evolve during the contract due to:

• Additional organisations joining the Shared Service
• Changes to supported locations
• Changes in user numbers
• Device growth or replacement
• Continued migration to Intune and Windows 11
• Adoption of cloud-based management and modern workplace technologies

The Service Provider must be able to scale and adapt its support accordingly.

Occasional Overtime

The Service Provider may occasionally be required to provide authorised support outside normal working hours, including evenings and weekends.

Overtime is expected to be infrequent and will be notified as far in advance as reasonably practicable.
