Schools using state funds for the purpose of purchasing equipment are required to abide by the relevant public procurement requirements.

The nature of the public procurement requirements varies depending on the size and characteristics of the contract to be awarded and the nature of the contracting authority.

Guidelines on procurement policy and the relevant thresholds applicable for advertising in the Official Journal of the EU (OJEU) are available on the e-Tenders website (www.etenders.gov.ie).
