There is no central record held on the nationality of tenderers who apply for public contracts in Ireland. Statistics on public contracts, including the nationality of the winning tenderers, are collected and compiled for each year. This exercise in regard to a particular year is usually completed by the middle of the following year. Therefore, the information for 2009 is not available at this stage. Certain information on most major public contracts awarded is published on the national procurement website (www.etenders.gov.ie) and the Official Journal of the EU. This includes the nationality of the winning tenderer. This information can be accessed by using the search engine which is located via the "advanced search facility" under the "Search Notices" icon on the etenders website. These sources may therefore be useful to parties interested in the type of information requested.
