Overview

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is seeking proposals from suitable, experienced service providers who have the capability and vision to develop and implement a tailored work programme to address the skills, enterprise and capability gaps of emigrants who have returned, or plan to return, to live and work in Ireland in order to foster and support entrepreneurial activity amongst that specific group. The Department is seeking ONE single provider of the service which may be a person(s), firm(s), company(ies), partnership(s), corporation(s) or other commercial entity. The programme will run for four years and the Department will have the option to extend by one additional year. Each year from 2022 to 2026, the Department ran a programme ‘Back for Business’, which sought to address these needs. The Department has decided that there is merit in continuing a programme that meets these aims and is seeking a provider on that basis.
