RTÉ is to spend €30m on its video streaming services from 2028, according to a newly issued contract for tender. The broadcaster has sought expressions of interest from suppliers to provide “technology solutions” for the continued “operation, evolution, and support of the RTÉ’s video streaming products from 2028 onwards”. Those solutions will include the management of content, rights and entitlements and the provision of “operational support services” for RTÉ’s existing systems, it said. Any successful supplier should expect to work within the “existing RTÉ ecosystem” while any changes to that system would be carried out via “incremental modernisation” rather than via a wholesale change to the platforms in place. The new tender documents note that RTÉ Player “had a record year in 2024 with over 142 million streams”.
