Procurement Intelligence

Cavan and Monaghan Education and Training Board (CMETB) is the statutory education and training authority for Counties Cavan and Monaghan, with responsibility for post-primary schools, further education and training, youth services, and associated facilities. Its procurement activity is therefore spread across school and training-centre operations, catering and dry goods, transport and bus hire, ICT and services, and building and maintenance works. The authority’s own procurement page shows active tendering, including a 2026 Schools Energy Pathfinder biomass/heating upgrade and enabling works package, indicating continued spend on estate improvement and energy projects. CMETB also uses both its own competitions and collaborative tenders, which suggests some centralised purchasing alongside local operational buying.[1][4][5][8]

Strategic Context

Recent procurement signals point to capital and energy-efficiency works as a live priority, with the open Schools Energy Pathfinder 2025 biomass programme tender for heating upgrade and building enabling works due to close in June 2026.[1][5] The procurement policy states that decentralised purchasing is the default approach, which usually means demand is spread across schools and centres rather than concentrated in one central buying stream.[3] Public award data also indicates at least one recent contract award worth about €1.0 million, and a TED award notice confirms a 2024 contract for dry goods, suggesting ongoing recurring operational procurement as well as project-based capital spend.[2][4]

Typical Suppliers

Building contractors and M&E firms for school energy retrofits, heating upgrades, and enabling works
Foodservice and dry-goods distributors supplying schools, centres, and training facilities
Bus hire and passenger transport operators for education and training transport requirements
ICT and telecommunications suppliers supporting schools, FET centres, and administration
Framework contractors and facilities-maintenance providers for minor works, grounds, and repairs

Supplier Tips

Monitor CMETB’s own procurement page and eTenders for project-specific competitions, because the authority appears to issue both standalone tenders and collaborative call-offs.[1][5]
Position bids around education-estate delivery experience, energy upgrades, and compliance with school-site safeguarding and programming constraints, since the current open competition is a school heating and enabling-works package.[1][5]
For recurring supplies such as food, dry goods, and transport, be ready for framework-style or repeat-award buying and align pricing, delivery reliability, and service coverage to multiple schools and centres across Cavan and Monaghan.[3][4]
