The Central Bank of Ireland is seeking the Cornerstone learning platform, content subscription and customer support, including support and maintenance of the platform and content. The notice describes a single five-year services lot starting on 1 January 2027, with an estimated value of €1.71 million excluding VAT. It cautions that the estimate is the Bank’s best estimate and the final total may be materially lower or higher. Offers must be submitted electronically in English, remain valid for six months, and may not include electronic catalogues or multiple alternatives.
