Ireland – Library software development services – Delivery and implementation of a Digital Repository.

The IPA is seeking to engage a Supplier to develop and/or provide an existing solution to provide a searchable, open access digital repository that hosts copies of all research conducted by IPA faculty and post graduate level students, making it accessible via the Library services. This will support evidence-based policy and practice across the public sector and enhance the visibility, accessibility, and impact of IPA research. The repository will serve as a structured, permanent, and searchable archive for IPA affiliated research. It will be integrated into the IPA Library online services and openly accessible to public servants, policymakers, researchers, students, and the wider public. The open access model ensures that the knowledge generated at the IPA can be used without cost or restriction, supporting greater reach and societal benefit.
