Leitrim County Council

Leitrim County Council is the local authority for County Leitrim, responsible for local infrastructure, housing, community services, economic development and environmental management.[1][8][14] It manages both an annual revenue budget (c. €60m–€64m in recent years) and a large multi‑year capital investment programme, indicating a substantial procurement profile across works, goods and services.[8][14] Key procurement categories include **construction and civil engineering works** (roads, bridges, greenways, housing), **vehicles and plant**, **ICT and security solutions**, and **community, youth and development services**.[3][6][7][10] The Finance/Procurement section publishes guidance and information on procurement processes, and uses the national eTenders platform for its competitions, including PEACEPLUS projects and other capital/community initiatives.[3][7][10][15]

Strategic Context

For 2025 the Council approved a €60m budget with a €530m capital investment programme over six years, rising to a €64.1m budget and a €650m six‑year capital programme for 2026, signalling continued, ambitious capital spend.[8][14] Strategic investment priorities include economic development and regeneration, housing, tourism promotion, heritage and culture, town and village enhancement, climate action and environment, and organisational development, all aligned with its Corporate Plan.[14] An updated Corporate Procurement Plan was noted as due to commence in 2024, alongside development of a contracts register, suggesting ongoing formalisation and strengthening of procurement governance.[1]

Supplier Tips

Align proposals with the Council’s stated capital and strategic priorities—economic regeneration, housing, climate action, tourism, heritage, and town/village enhancement—and clearly show how your solution supports these outcomes and the six‑year capital investment programme.[8][14]
Monitor eTenders and the Council’s PEACEPLUS and procurement webpages for upcoming competitions and panels (e.g. mentoring panels for the Local Enterprise Office, community development tenders) and prepare to meet sub‑threshold and EU‑threshold documentation and electronic submission requirements.[5][7][12][15]
Use the Council’s Public Procurement Guide for SMEs to understand its procedures, evaluation criteria and expectations, and engage early with the Procurement contact point where appropriate to clarify technical and compliance requirements for ICT, construction and community‑service tenders.[3][10][15]
