The Procurement Process

Contracts Threshold Levels

Certain activities carried out by Irish Water Ireland require compliance with applicable procurement laws. Irish Water adopts different procurement approaches, depending on the monetary value of the contract.

EU Thresholds

Contracts with a monetary value above the procurement threshold level (Goods or Services greater than €428k. Works greater than €5,350m and Social and other Specific Services greater than €1m) are advertised through the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). Prospective suppliers and contractors are advised to regularly review the eTenders website to view advertised tender competitions.

Contracts Below Threshold Levels

All other contracts below the threshold levels as specified above are procured as per the Irish Water procurement policy, which is in compliance with applicable procurement law.

Contract Awards

Contracts Awarded are published on www.etenders.gov.ie post Contract execution.
