Multi-Supplier Framework Agreement for Protected Disclosures Investigation and Receipt Services

This is a multi-supplier framework agreement opportunity for business service providers to deliver investigative and recipient services to Irish public bodies. The agreement supports organizations in meeting their legal obligations under the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 (as amended in 2022). Eligible suppliers can provide services including third-party investigations, disclosure receipt and processing, and related compliance support. Public sector clients will use this framework to procure services on an as-needed basis when protected disclosure situations arise. Suppliers should have expertise in conducting confidential investigations, handling sensitive disclosures, and supporting whistleblower protection compliance. The detailed service specifications are outlined in Appendix 1 of the Request for Tender.
