    TG4 is planning the procurement of a story-centric Newsroom Computer System (NRCS) that includes centralized publishing management and an integrated playout solution, with an estimated maximum total contract value of 1,000,000 EUR. The system should be fully on-premise, designed with a digital-first focus, and support rapid content creation, transformation, and distribution across various channels, including online and social media, with initial requirements for 10 concurrent journalist/editorial seats. The solution must support multi-source ingest, news package generation, online publishing, AI integration, integrated playout, and archiving.

    About the bid

      The proposed solution shall be a fully on-premise, story-centric newsroom and publishing platform. The solution shall be designed with a digital-first focus to support rapid content creation, transformation and distribution across online and social channels, while remaining securely accessible to authorised external contributors, including journalists and remote editors. The system must enable a seamless transition from content acquisition through to multi-platform digital publication, with broadcast playout operating as an integrated extension of the core workflow. The system must be scalable with initial requirements of 10 concurrent journalist/editorial seats. A detailed training plan must also be provided. At a minimum, the solution must comprehensively support the following functional domains: • multi-source ingest, including live, file-based, and remote submissions, • news package generation and collaborative production, enabling editorial teams to create, version, and refine content for digital-first publishing, • online publishing and social media distribution as a central capability, allowing direct, efficient delivery of content to web, and third-party platforms, • AI integration, particularly to accelerate digital workflows such as translation, transcription, and subtitling, • integrated playout, supporting both SDI broadcast and online streaming, • archiving, ensuring all media and editorial assets are securely stored, richly indexed, and easily retrievable, with integration to existing archive systems
