Treoir um Sholáthar Deontas Leabhar Scoile d’Iar-bhunscoileanna 2024/25
Sa bhreis ar chumarsáid na Roinne an Déardaoin seo caite, 2 Bealtaine 2024.
Tá roinnt scoileanna anois tar éis doiciméadú Glao ar Thairiscintí a fhoilsiú ar ardán eTenders agus beidh tacaíocht de dhíth orthu don chéad chéim eile dá dturas soláthair.
Beidh seimineáir ghréasáin beo á reáchtáil do scoileanna ag an Aonad um Sholáthar Scoileanna ina dtabharfar aghaidh ar na gnéithe criticiúla seo den phróiseas soláthair –
(i) Treoir maidir le haighneachtaí tairisceana a dhíghlasáil agus a íoslódáil.
(ii) Treoir céim ar chéim maidir le meastóireacht ar thairiscintí a dhéanamh agus a chur i gcrích.
(iii) Litreacha torthaí chuig tairgeoirí ar éirigh leo agus nár éirigh a dhréachtú agus a eisiúint.
Tugtar cuireadh do phríomhphearsanra na scoile, a bhfuil baint acu leis an bpróiseas, páirt a ghlacadh i seimineár gréasáin beo a chlúdóidh na céimeanna thuasluaite sa phróiseas soláthair. Is iad na sonraí don seimineár gréasáin ná:
Dé hAoine 10 Bealtaine ag 9.30 – Join the meeting now (Meeting ID: 317 977 788 002 Passcode: X7QRyi)

Dé Céadaoin 15 Bealtaine ag 11.30 – Join the meeting now (Meeting ID: 315 772 946 333 Passcode: dxMHWe)
Beidh an t-ábhar céanna go díreach i ngach ceann de na 3 sheimineár gréasáin. B’fhéidir gur mhaith le scoileanna go bhfreastalódh níos mó ná duine amháin.
Nuair a bhíonn na seimineáir ghréasáin thart, foilseofar ábhar an tseimineáir agus na ceisteanna agus na freagraí mar acmhainn bhreise do scoileanna.
Is mian leis an Roinn a mheabhrú do scoileanna má tá treoir agus tacaíocht bhreise de dhíth ar aon scoil maidir leis an scéim, go bhfuil seoladh ríomhphoist tiomnaithe Roinne agus uimhir líne chabhrach ar fáil –
