Ireland – Legal services – 2025/006 Establishment of a multi-party framework agreement for the provision of legal services relating to Enterprise Ireland’s investment in Irish and international private equity and venture funds

Description

Enterprise Ireland (EI), with funding from Government, has invested in five Seed and Venture Capital (SVC) Schemes since 1994 to help ensure that there is both an available and effective overall funding ecosystem for high growth companies and to address market failures in this area. The investment provided by these SVC Funds has supported a significant number of indigenous Irish companies over the years with more than €1.4bn invested in over 600 Enterprise Ireland supported companies to the end of 2024. On the 15th August 2024 the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment announced a sixth Seed and Venture Capital Scheme. The new Scheme has an increased allocation of €250m to be committed over the lifetime of the Seed and Venture Capital Scheme (2025-29) (the “Scheme”). In addition to these, other similar Schemes may be launched by Enterprise Ireland during the life of this Framework. The framework agreement will be established principally to provide legal services with respect to two areas: (i) Enterprise Ireland’s commitment to funds under the Seed and Venture Capital (“SVC”) Schemes and Advice in relation to venture capital and private equity entities and instruments. The full list of requirements are outlined in the tender documents. Tenderers must associate themselves with the competition in order to access the tender documents, ask and receive queries and submit a response.
