An Post

An Post is Ireland’s national postal operator and a commercial semi‑state company, headquartered at the General Post Office on O’Connell Street, Dublin, with group revenues exceeding €1bn for the first time in 2024.[7] It provides nationwide mail and parcel delivery, post office network services, and growing financial and e‑commerce logistics services, operating one of the largest transport and retail footprints in the state.[7] Its procurement activity is managed centrally, with a published procurement team contact and policies covering how suppliers engage with the organisation.[1][2] Typical procurement categories include fleet and logistics, IT and data centre services, mail and parcel automation equipment, facilities and maintenance, and a broad range of professional and financial services, reflecting its mix of postal, retail, and digital operations.[5][6][10]

Strategic Context

An Post’s current Green Light Strategy 2024‑2028 focuses on triple‑digit growth in e‑commerce, expansion of the circular economy, next‑generation mail services, and continued growth in financial services, underpinned by transformation into a digitally empowered “Digi Corp”.[7][12] The company is investing about €200m from internally generated resources in this strategy, including data‑driven, AI‑enabled operations and network modernisation, while targeting a 50% emissions reduction by 2025 and net‑zero carbon emissions by 2030, which is driving procurement in EV fleet and charging infrastructure, automation, and IT platforms.[7][12] These priorities mean sustained demand for technology, sustainability‑related investments, and logistics services over the 2024‑2028 period.[7][12]

Typical Suppliers

Large IT and data centre service providers offering co‑location tier 3 data centre services, enterprise‑wide document and image management systems, and broader ICT and digital platforms.[10][14]
Consulting and professional services firms, including major international consultancies such as Accenture, which has been named as a group of economic operators in a recent utilities‑sector contract award.[11]
Fleet, transport and logistics operators providing scheduled airmail transport services, vehicle and fleet washing services, and broader transport solutions to support mail and parcel operations.[9][15]
Suppliers of electric vehicle charging equipment and related infrastructure to support An Post’s large EV fleet and decarbonisation targets.[12][13]
Facilities, property and asset management and disposal specialists involved in the sale or redevelopment of premises as An Post optimises its estate and network footprint.[8]

Supplier Tips

Align proposals explicitly with An Post’s Green Light 2024‑2028 objectives by demonstrating how your solution supports e‑commerce growth, digital transformation (including data and AI capabilities), or carbon reduction and circular‑economy outcomes, and reference measurable sustainability benefits and service resilience.[7][12]
Monitor utilities‑sector notices and framework agreements on the Irish national tendering platforms and related portals, as An Post regularly uses these channels for ICT, logistics, and professional services procurements; be prepared for electronic submission and compliance with their standard procurement policies and documentation requirements.[2][9][14][15]
Position for long‑term frameworks rather than one‑off contracts by highlighting scale, nationwide coverage, and robust service management, as many An Post tenders seek single‑party or multi‑operator frameworks for critical services such as data centres, transport, and enterprise systems, where performance, security, and continuity are heavily scrutinised.[10][11][15]
