SINGLE PARTY FRAMEWORK FOR THE PROVISION OF EXECUTIVE SEARCH AND RECRUITMENT SERVICES TO HORSE RACING IRELAND AND SUBSIDIARIES

Tender description

Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) was established by the Irish Government under the Horse and Greyhound Racing Act 2001 and the Irish Horseracing Industry Act 1994. It is a commercial semi-state body that is responsible for the administration, promotion and development of Horse Racing in Ireland. HRI subsidiaries include Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Ltd (ITM), Tote Ireland Ltd and HRI Racecourse Division consisting of Leopardstown Racecourse, Fairyhouse Racecourse, Navan Racecourse, Tipperary Racecourse and Leopardstown Golf Centre. Cork Racecourse Mallow, Curragh Racecourse Limited and Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB), while not subsidiaries of Horse Racing Ireland, are closely affiliated with HRI. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to use this framework for any other business venture or industry body in which it is involved. The Contracting Authority has a requirement to enlist the services of an executive search function in order to ensure that when vacancies arise that the necessary options are available to assist in the search and recruitment of executives to the extended leadership team. Admission to the framework agreement does not guarantee the award of any contract to the successful tenderer and use of the framework to award contracts will be strictly at the Contracting Authority’s discretion. While it is intended to use the framework for the procurement of requirements falling within its scope during its lifetime, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to conduct a separate competition for the procurement of any requirement. In this event no advantage or disadvantage will be conferred upon the successful framework member(s).
