Recruitment Agency Services for Sourcing and the Recruitment of Senior BIM Manager for the OPW

About the buyer

The Office of Public Works (OPW) manages Ireland's state property, heritage sites and flood defences as a government office with its own procurement function. Tenders are advertised on eTenders, the national procurement platform run by the Office of Government Procurement. Framework contracts cover recurring work, including a current multiparty framework for fit-out and refurbishment design and construction. Works, supplies and services, including consultancies, make up its day-to-day procurement activity. Tenders often form part of a larger capital project, such as acquiring or fitting out a building. Public procurement guidelines, regulations and directives govern how OPW buys.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of OPW's contract awards have been in architectural and engineering services, construction work and business services.
