About the buyer

Shannon Foynes Port Company holds statutory jurisdiction over marine activities across a 500 square kilometre stretch of the Shannon Estuary, stretching from Loop Head to Limerick city. Public tenders are advertised through Ireland's eTenders portal. Larger contracts are also notified through the EU's Tenders Electronic Daily service. Smaller schemes sometimes open first as an expression-of-interest tender, as with the Limerick to Foynes rail project. A Board of Directors and executive management team oversee the company's capital and commercial programmes. The port carries Tier 1 status under the National Ports Policy and sits on the EU's core TEN-T network.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of Shannon Foynes Port Company's contract awards have been in software and information systems.
