Design, supply and installation of a fully supported Wi-Fi network of outdoor public access points, at designated locations in Limerick City and County, under the WiFi4EU programme.

Tender description

The WiFi4EU initiative is a support scheme for the provision of free Wi-Fi access in indoor or outdoor public spaces (e.g. public administrations 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. Limerick City and 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 Limerick City and County.   The funding granted takes the form of a voucher scheme. Limerick City and County Council secured the maximum FOUR vouchers permissible. With each voucher worth €15,000 being match-funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development (DRCD), this means that the total value of this contract is €120,000 inclusive of VAT. The WiFi4EU voucher element must be drawn down directly from the EU as explained in the tender documentation.
