# RTÉ four- and five-star hotel framework

RTÉ is establishing a four-year framework for four-star and five-star hotel services to meet changing business needs. Requirements include hotel accommodation and, where needed, conference-room facilities for concert-orchestra events and accommodation for celebrities and contributors. The framework is divided into two lots, and tenderers may bid for one lot only. RTÉ will use the Most Economically Advantageous Tender evaluation mechanism. The estimated value is EUR 960,000. The notice lists a 6-month tender-validity period and a closing time of 4 November 2026 at 13:00 GMT. The public workspace does not give further technical or qualification detail.

# RTÉ hotel framework

Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) is establishing a framework of four- and five-star hotels for accommodation and hotel services required for its business and related activities, including conference-room facilities for concert orchestras, celebrities and contributors. TED states a procedure estimate of EUR 960,000 and returns the same amount in each of the two lot fields; these figures are not summed. TED lists an additional-information deadline of 14 October 2026 at 13:00 UTC+01:00 and a tender-receipt deadline of 4 November 2026 at 13:00 UTC+01:00. The tender-receipt deadline conflicts with the earlier available notice information timestamp.
