Department of Justice Home Affairs and Migration

Procurement Intelligence

The Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration is a central Irish Government department responsible for justice policy, immigration and international protection, border management, policing and community safety, as well as aspects of national security and civil law reform.[4][6] It oversees and funds a wide network of agencies and offices (including policing, prisons, migration and asylum services), and manages significant programme and administrative expenditure.[4][6] Core procurement categories include ICT systems to support justice and migration operations, facilities and security services, accommodation and related services for international protection applicants, professional and legal services, and operational equipment for justice and security bodies.[4][5][6] The department is a client of the Office of Government Procurement (OGP), which sources the bulk of its goods and services via central frameworks.[5]

Strategic Context

The department’s 2025–2028 Statement of Strategy prioritises strengthening community safety, tackling domestic, sexual and gender-based violence, enhancing border and migration management, and improving the justice system through digitalisation and modernisation.[4][6] It also commits to implementing EU migration and asylum reforms under the Pact on Migration and Asylum and wider Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) policies, which implies continuing investment in immigration processing capacity, reception infrastructure and security-related ICT systems.[3][4][6] As an OGP client, its forward spending on common goods and services is largely channelled through national frameworks, while bespoke capital and programme-specific projects (especially in migration, security and digital justice) continue to be tendered individually.[5]
