Ireland is seeking a qualified vendor to design and develop a modern, secure website portal enabled with AI technologies. This portal will serve as the central digital hub for facilitating and supporting bi-directional academic and cultural exchange initiatives.

The requested solution must be cost-effective, easy to maintain, and incorporate robust mechanisms for content governance and auditability. The public-facing website should feature an AI-powered awards and programmes catalogue, along with an AI agent capable of helping users discover, interrogate, and compare various exchange opportunities. Additionally, the portal will require a secure partner section to facilitate collaboration, enable structured data submission, and support efficient information sharing among stakeholders.

Mobile optimization is a key requirement to ensure accessibility and usability across all devices.
