Description:
Taste 4 Success Skillnet is a national training network, funded by Skillnet Ireland, that supports member companies in the food, seafood, beverage and hospitality sector to upskill their workforce. Taste 4 Success Skillnet invites tenders from suitably qualified training and service providers for admission to an open Panel of Training Providers for the period 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029. This is an open admission system, not a public contract or framework agreement. All tenderers who meet the requirements and the minimum quality score will be admitted for the relevant Lots, and the panel will remain open to new applicants throughout the panel period. Member companies select the approved provider they wish to work with. Taste 4 Success Skillnet does not select between admitted providers. The estimated value is the projected total value of training delivered through the panel over its full period. Admission to the panel is not a guarantee of work. Full admission is conditional on submission of the documents set out in the Call for Tender. The panel comprises 12 Lots. Lot 1 Professional Development, Lot 2 Food Science, Technology and Innovation, Lot 3 Quality Assurance, Lot 4 Business Competitiveness, Lot 5 Information Technology, Lot 6 Health and Safety, Lot 7 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery, Lot 8 Progression Pathways, Lot 9 Sustainability and Green Skills, Lot 10 Regulatory Compliance and Food Safety Governance, Lot 11 Inclusion, Wellbeing and Workforce Returners, Lot 12 HR, Payroll and Employment Law. Tenders may apply for one or more Lots. Full details are set out in the Call for Tender documents. After the initial deadline of 17.00 on Monday 16 November 2026, the panel remains open and applications may be submitted at any time up to 30 September 2029 via the Taste 4 Success Procurement Portal. These are evaluated at quarterly cut-offs of 31 March, 30 June and 30 September each year using the same criteria.
