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.
