Design, Supply, Hosting, Support, Training and Maintenance of a Countywide message alert service on behalf of Leitrim County Council.

Tender description

Leitrim County Council is seeking to rollout a unified, co-ordinated, county-wide, web-based message alert app service, with text message functionality for non-smartphone users. The initiative has come about at the request of both the Joint Policing Committee and An Garda Síochána, who both see benefits of a county-wide approach. There are also areas of the county currently not covered by any scheme and this initiative will enable citizens in those areas for the first time to benefit from the Message Alert initiative. The contract includes the design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, training, support and maintenance of the system. Leitrim County Council is requesting tenders for the provision of a hosted county-wide alerts service. The alerts service must enable the Council and An Garda Síochána to disseminate information to citizens through an app, the web, text or email and social media on categories such as roads, floods, severe weather, planning applications, Gardai and Council alerts based on their geographic location. The alert service must be available 24 hours a day and should be free for citizens to subscribe to and use.
