Mini Competition for the Provision of Lot 11 ICT for Dublin City Council (Business Intelligence)

About the buyer

Dublin City Council buys as a local authority, with a Central Procurement Unit coordinating purchasing across departments. Every tender is advertised through eTenders, the national procurement platform for Irish public bodies. Smaller quotations are handled directly by departments, with formal tendering required above a set threshold. Larger contracts are advertised across the EU once they pass a higher threshold. The council prioritises procurement arrangements agreed nationally through the Office of Government Procurement, then sectoral and regional frameworks. A Head of Finance order sets the approval limits for authorising a purchase.

€29.5bn was the estimated value of contracts awarded across the Irish public sector in 2025.

Over the past 5 years, most of Dublin City Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and electrical equipment and lighting.
