Louth and Meath Education and Training Board 1384

Procurement Intelligence

Louth and Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB, contracting authority ID 1384) is the statutory education and training board responsible for primary, post‑primary, further education and training, and associated youth services across Counties Louth and Meath. It procures a mix of construction, building services, specialist training equipment, ICT and digital learning solutions, and professional services to support schools, training centres and the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre of Excellence (AMTCE).[3][7][10][13] Recent tenders include construction works (e.g. Youthreach facility upgrades), frameworks for electrical equipment and consumables for apprenticeship training, and multi‑lot training services for CNC and other machinery.[11][12][13] In 2026 it is also procuring specialised beauty equipment and healthcare/health and wellbeing equipment, reflecting activity in both education and health‑related training provision.[1][2][6]

Strategic Context

LMETB’s current procurement activity indicates an ongoing capital and upgrade programme across training centres and Youthreach facilities, including life‑safety systems, electrical upgrades, dust extraction systems and specialist equipment installations.[2][7][12] The establishment of single‑party and multi‑party framework agreements for health and wellbeing equipment, healthcare equipment and a carbon measurement and management interactive learning experience solution for AMTCE suggests a strategic focus on sustainability, modern apprenticeship delivery and expanding sector‑specific training capacity.[2][6][8][10] Use of MEAT (Most Economically Advantageous Tender) and framework structures points to an intent to secure long‑term value and efficient repeat purchasing rather than one‑off buys.[8][10][13]
