It outlines the framework’s duration, selection process, and the list of five approved framework members. It also describes two procurement routes—mini-competition via an SRFT template or direct award based on a Digital Learning Plan—along with guidance on evaluation criteria and drawdown purchasing.","Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) Procurement Framework - User Guide\n(February 2023)\nSection 1: Framework Overview\nA new IFP Framework has been put in place by the Department of Education (DE) to support framework clients such as schools/ETBs and other parties (see Appendix 3 for full list of Framework Clients) in purchasing high quality IFPs from approved quality providers. Following a public tendering process contracts have been put in place between the Department of Education and 5 approved framework members, details of which are listed below.\nAll listed products were evaluated by relevant technology and education experts, and they meet all the relevant specifications and requirements for schools and ETBs to support teaching and learning.\nThe framework has been put in place initially for 2 years up to February 2025, but may be extended for up to 2 additional years, up to February 2027, at the discretion of the Department. The 5 framework members were selected based on a competitive tender process, issued on eTenders and which assessed their technical and professional ability, the quality of the goods and services and other factors.\nThis Framework makes it easy to purchase quality IFPs\nThis framework is an agreement between the Department of Education and the 5 framework members which enables clients to seek responses/quotes, without having to run a full tender process. It makes it easier and more efficient for clients to purchase IFPs from approved suppliers, and saves clients considerable time and effort by simplifying the process.\nApproved Framework Members:\nThere are 5 approved suppliers on the Framework, listed in Table 1. These include Avio, Kyotech, Promethean, Prowise and Smart Technologies. As shown below most of these companies partner with regional resellers to sell, install and support their products in Ireland.\nTable 1: IFP Framework Members\n\u000f\nDetails of the different types of IFPs available are shown in Table 2. The following products were evaluated and can be procured via this Framework.\nTable 2: Details of IFPs\nIf clients are unsure of what type of IFP is suitable for their needs, they may email these or other related queries to \u0013 HYPERLINK \"mailto:ictadvice@pdst.ie\" \u0014ictadvice@pdst.ie\u0015. Also to assist clients, advice including FAQ’s will be added to the PDST Technology in Education website at \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.pdsttechnologyineducation.ie/projectors\" \u0014www.pdsttechnologyineducation.ie/IFPs\u0015\nHow does the Framework work?\nClients (schools, ETBs etc.,) can use the framework in two ways. They may run a ‘mini-competition’ to seek quotes from all 5 suppliers. Alternatively they may seek one quote for a specific product they require from one framework member, and this process is referred to as a ‘direct award’. Clients can decide which of the two processes is most appropriate for their organisation and requirements. They may use their discretion to determine whether to use the ‘mini-competition’ process or whether sufficient technical and/or pedagogical rationale exists to use the ‘direct award’ process. The framework can also be used to purchase drawdown quantities as required over the framework period.\nClients may run a ‘mini-competition’ by using a Supplementary Request for Tender (SRFT) (template provided below) which is sent to all 5 approved framework members, to seek responses/quotes for IFPs. When they do so, they will then receive responses/quotes from all 5 framework members. Clients then evaluate the responses to select a successful provider. Further details on this process are provided in section 2 below.\nOR\nClients may use the ‘direct award’ process to seek a single response/quote directly from one particular framework member if they need to purchase a specific product/brand to be consistent with their ‘Digital Learning Plan’ from a pedagogical and/or technical perspective. When they receive the response/quote, if they are satisfied that it supports their ‘Digital Learning Plan’, they may then proceed t","cbCaihgtk2lKaxT9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihgtk2lKaxT9","docx",96446,10,"English","en",105,"# Framework Overview\n# How the Framework Works\n## Mini-competition\n## Direct Award","[{\"question\":\"What is the IFP Procurement Framework designed to do?\",\"answer\":\"It enables schools/ETBs and other framework clients to purchase high-quality interactive flat panels from approved providers without running a full tender process.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the two ways clients can use the framework?\",\"answer\":\"Clients can run a mini-competition to obtain quotes from all five suppliers, or use a direct award to request a quote from a specific framework member for a required product.\"},{\"question\":\"When is the direct award process appropriate?\",\"answer\":\"Direct award is appropriate when the purchase must align with a client’s Digital Learning Plan from pedagogical and/or technical perspectives, such as needing compatibility with existing equipment or specific product features.\"}]","Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) Procurement Framework - User Guide | DOCX",1788227391,4,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":14,"keywords":34,"description":15,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":28},"interactive-flat-panel-ifp-procurement-framework-user-guide","",{"@graph":36,"@context":84},[37,53,67],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,48,51],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":49,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/",3,{"item":52,"name":14,"@type":43,"position":29},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/interactive-flat-panel-ifp-procurement-framework-user-guide/168209/",{"url":52,"name":14,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":14,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":15,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":41,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","2026-09-01",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What is the IFP Procurement Framework designed to do?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"It enables schools/ETBs and other framework clients to purchase high-quality interactive flat panels from approved providers without running a full tender process.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What are the two ways clients can use the framework?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Clients can run a mini-competition to obtain quotes from all five suppliers, or use a direct award to request a quote from a specific framework member for a required product.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"When is the direct award process appropriate?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Direct award is appropriate when the purchase must align with a client’s Digital Learning Plan from pedagogical and/or technical perspectives, such as needing compatibility with existing equipment or specific product features.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":86,"og:title":14,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":15},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,97,102,107,112,117,122,127,132],{"id":93,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},11,"Presentations",90,"presentations",{"id":98,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},12,"Resumes",80,"resumes",{"id":103,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},14,"Invoices",70,"invoices",{"id":108,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},15,"Posters",60,"posters",{"id":113,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},16,"Social Media",50,"social-media",{"id":118,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},17,"Forms",40,"forms",{"id":123,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},18,"Letters",30,"letters",{"id":128,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":131},21,"Paper Templates",5,"papers-templates",{"id":12,"doc_module":11,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":13,"show_sort_weight":4,"slug":133},"general-158"]
