Full and precise data on the country of origin of companies winning public contracts is not available as this type of information is not published for all contracts. However, analysis of the available data on the national public procurement website, www.etenders.gov.ie, where about 95% of all advertised public contracts are published, indicates that: 83.5% of high-value contracts (i.e., those advertised on etenders and in the European Journal) were awarded to Irish companies; 91.8% of lower-value contracts (those advertised on etenders only) were awarded to Irish companies.
