Inland Fisheries Ireland

Procurement Intelligence

Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) is the State agency responsible for protecting, managing and conserving Ireland’s inland fisheries resources and supporting sustainable angling and fisheries-related activities. It operates nationally from its Citywest headquarters and field network, so its procurement footprint spans operational equipment, fleet and vessel services, environmental and technical professional services, and ICT systems. Recent notices show spending in transport-related operational assets, environmental assessment support, website/CRM/eCommerce services, and fisheries management systems, with contract values ranging from smaller specialist buys to multi-hundred-thousand-euro technology projects. IFI also has a published procurement policy and a sustainable procurement page, indicating formal controls and an explicit sustainability lens in purchasing.[3][5][6][8][13]

Strategic Context

IFI’s recent procurement mix suggests a focus on modernising licensing and permit management, telematics and fleet management, and digital/public-facing services, alongside core field operations and habitat/fisheries works.[6][14][15] A recent TED contract result for facilities management at CityWest HQ and Warehouse ended without an award, which may indicate a reset or retender in that area, while open and recent notices show continued demand for specialist environmental advice and operational equipment.[4][9] I could not verify a current published multi-year capital programme or detailed 2026 budget allocation from the sources returned, so the safest interpretation is that buying is being driven by operational renewal and project-specific funding rather than a clearly published capital pipeline.[3][17]
