Guidance for Suppliers Responding to Tenders via www.etenders.gov.ie

Public Bodies including Local Authorities, operating in Ireland are subject to national and EU rules on the award of contracts for supplies, works and services. They are obliged to publicly tender all requirements on the Irish Government website www.etenders.gov.ie over certain thresholds, in addition to advertising in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) for larger value contracts. The etenders website is the national system operated in Ireland. It is a fully electronic confidential tool supporting the advertising and tender transactions for all Irish Public Bodies as well as those in receipt of public funding.
