The public procurement website www.etenders.gov.ie is the national reference point for all matters relating to public procurement in Ireland. Notices of significant contracts to be awarded by public bodies (normally those of €50,000 and upwards but in many cases as low as €10,000) are published on the website. Many contracting authorities publish advance notice of intended purchases (prior information notices) to alert interested suppliers of upcoming opportunities. Information on contracts awarded, mainly those for contracts above value thresholds requiring publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (approximately €5 million for works contracts and €200,000 for supplies and service contracts of most contracting authorities) are also published on the website. In addition, many public bodies provide general information on their procurement requirements on their own websites.
