Tender description

Dublin City Council on behalf of Dublin Regional Homeless Executive (DRHE) has awarded a contract for the provision of accommodation services . The contract relates to the provision of 365 beds and associated services for a maximum period of 10 years. A break-out option is available for both parties at the end of years, 7, 8 and 9. Please note that we are publishing a Contract Award Notice in accordance with Art. 32 given the size and scale of this contract. However, it is considered that such contracts fall outside the scope of the directive as DRHE are open to all solutions for accommodation services for the homeless. On that basis a panel is in operation for any parties interested in providing accommodation services. Please refer to the competition on the old eTenders platform (irl-eu-supply.com) relating to the Establishment of Five Panels for the Provision of Emergency Accommodation for the DRHE (Reference Number 205758).

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.
