About the buyer

Health Service Executive runs Ireland's public health service, and buys as a central healthcare organisation through a dedicated national procurement team. HSE is described as the State's largest public sector purchaser. HSE tenders above national thresholds are advertised on eTenders, Ireland's state procurement platform. Contracts above EU thresholds appear in the Official Journal of the European Union. HSE Procurement, the central commercial team, negotiates national framework agreements and manages large contracts. Individual hospitals, community health bodies and local HSE regions can source lower-value contracts directly. A single helpdesk handles procurement queries from suppliers.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of HSE's contract awards have been in construction work, electrical equipment and lighting and business services.
