How to register as a supplier on eTenders
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. Source: gov.ie
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.

Worth knowing
- Contracting authorities must advertise on eTenders every contract for goods and services from €50,000, and works contracts from €200,000 should be advertised there as a formal tender, both excluding VAT. Source: gov.ie
- Below those amounts a public body can contact suppliers directly for quotes, and eTenders handles those quotes from registered suppliers too. Source: gov.ie
- Circular 05/2023 also requires contracting authorities to publish contract award information on eTenders for every procurement over €25,000 excluding VAT. Source: gov.ie

The market around it, Ireland
eTenders is one of the named national channels in Ireland. Beside them, 4 more sources publish their own notices; they are counted by category on the country page, never listed, because the complete source map is what sets the radar apart.
Opening 5 pages every morning is feasible for a week, not for a commercial year. That is the cost this fragmentation imposes on every supplier that takes the market seriously.
What TRINTA does with it
eTenders is read on the TRINTA daily scan. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, then scores every notice 0 to 100 against what the company actually sells, with the reasoning shown. Procedure documents are retrieved and attached, and a short scored list arrives each morning.
