The Provision of a Tote Wagering System

Tender description

Tote Ireland Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Horse Racing Ireland, with responsibility for the operation of a Totalisator on the 26 racecourses in the Republic of Ireland. Tote Ireland is at the heart of Irish Horseracing, providing a wide variety of betting options for all race goers. All profits made by Tote Ireland are used for the improvement of Irish Horseracing. Tote' is short for Totalisator and Tote Betting is similar to the Lotto. All the stakes on a race are pooled; a deduction is made to cover costs and contribution to racing. The remainder of the pool is divided by the number of winning units to give a dividend, which is inclusive of a €1 stake. Tote Ireland Ltd. is now seeking Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified service providers for the provision of a tote Wagering System. The current solution is a turn-key solution involving the provision of wagering terminals, a Tote Central System, and ancillary logistics services including the movement and installation of equipment. For its off-course activities a similar complete solution is in place; with a fully hosted, web based interface for their contact centre and web offerings. To identify the best solution, Tote has split the requirement into three separate lots:  Lot 1: Contract for the Provision of a Tote Central System  Lot 2: Contract for the Provision of Logistics Services to transport and install Tote Equipment  Lot 3: Contract for the Provision of a Web, Contact Centre and Mobile System Please consult the associated documentation for full details and instruction regarding submissions in respect of this competition.
