Provision of Merchant Card Acquiring and Payment Gateway Services to the CIE Group of Companies

This requirement replaces the previously advertised requirement for “Merchant Card Acquirer Services” e-tender reference number RFT 100005 TED Reference 2015/S 196-355716. CIE Group Companies require a single operator to provide a Merchant Card Acquiring and Payment Gateway solution for the collection and processing of credit and debit card payments for the CIE Group Companies. CIE Group Companies have identified a need to replace legacy Payment Gateway processing systems and replace with a modern fully managed service for the collection and processing of credit and debit card transactions for the CIE Group Companies. The contract award is for a period of three years with an option to extend for an additional period of 2 years at IE / CIE's discretion. A significant transition period is envisaged and so provision of services may not commence until 2017.
