About the buyer
Dublin City Council buys as a local authority, with a Central Procurement Unit coordinating purchasing across departments. Smaller quotations are handled directly by departments, with formal tendering required above a set 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.
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.
