Document background
The Consortium Agreement For Tender is a crucial document used when multiple organizations wish to combine their expertise, resources, and capabilities to bid for projects in Ireland that may be too large or complex for a single organization to handle effectively. This agreement, governed by Irish law and compliant with EU procurement regulations, establishes the legal framework for collaboration, defining everything from leadership structure and decision-making processes to risk allocation and profit sharing. It's particularly important for large-scale public tenders where the contracting authority requires formal documentation of the consortium arrangement. The agreement addresses key aspects such as bid preparation responsibilities, confidentiality obligations, intellectual property rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms, while ensuring compliance with competition law and public procurement requirements.
