Government tenders in Ireland: where they are published.

On eTenders, the national electronic tendering website, which the Office of Government Procurement calls the central facility for all public sector contracting authorities to advertise procurement opportunities and award notices. It also displays every day the Irish opportunities advertised in the Official Journal of the EU, which are on TED.

EUR 50,000 for goods and services and EUR 200,000 for works, both excluding VAT, under Circular 05/2023; works-related services stay at EUR 50,000. Below those amounts a public body can ask suppliers directly for quotes, which eTenders also handles for registered suppliers.

From 1 January 2026, excluding VAT: EUR 140,000 for goods and services bought by government departments and offices, EUR 216,000 for local and regional authorities and public bodies outside the utilities sector, EUR 5,404,000 for works and EUR 750,000 for social and other specific services.

Yes, more than companies from any other foreign country. Of the 3,280 Irish contract award notices on TED that name a winner's country, from January to September 2026, 458 named a winner from the United Kingdom, and 635 in all named one from outside Ireland (19.3%). Whether a particular tender is open to a company is for its documents to say.

TRINTA counted 3,539 Irish contract award notices on TED from January to September 2026, which is the part of the market above the EU thresholds. Below them, contracting authorities publish contract award information on eTenders for every procurement over EUR 25,000.

Add your CPV codes to your eTenders supplier profile, under EO Management and Edit CPV Codes: eTenders then sends a notification email at the end of each day with the newly published tenders in those codes.

A service of the Office of Government Procurement for a supplier taking part in a live tender: it can be used where a request for tender has been published, the supplier has registered an interest in it, has asked its questions through the normal clarification process with the contracting authority, and is not satisfied with the answer. Enquiries go first to the OGP Support Helpdesk.

Any supplier that wants to sell to the Irish public sector. The Office of Government Procurement's first step is to register on eTenders, the national electronic tendering website, and it encourages suppliers to register for the lower-value quotes too. 1. Open the Register Supplier form on etenders.gov.ie, unless you used the old eTenders: a supplier that did activates its existing account with the first login guide instead of registering again. 2. Fill in the organisation details: name, company type, enterprise type, type of business, company registration number, VAT number (or PPS number for a sole trader), D-U-N-S number, address and a contact. 3. Once logged in, open EO Management and use Edit CPV Codes to add the CPV codes of your business: eTenders then sends a notification email at the end of each day with the newly published tenders in those codes. 4. Express an interest in a tender to be associated with it: that is what brings its notifications and messages, and its documents are in the CfT workspace under CfT Documents. 5. Keep the response in draft until it is ready, because a submitted response that needs a change is submitted again in full. A response file can be up to 2GB and a single uploaded document up to 250MB. Checked on 12 Oct 2026 against the official sources linked above. Procedures change, and each tender's own documents decide.

TRINTA reads Ireland's official sources every day, 5 mapped, 1 read by a dedicated connector. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, scores every notice 0 to 100 for fit with the reasoning shown, and attaches the procedure documents. A short scored digest arrives each morning. The same radar covers 170+ countries, so a company selling in Ireland can watch neighbouring markets with the same profile.
