Procurement Intelligence

The National Transport Authority (NTA) is a semi-state agency under the Department of Transport responsible for securing public transport services and infrastructure across Ireland. It manages one of the country's largest sustainable procurement programmes, including the transition of the 1,800-vehicle Public Service Obligation fleet to zero-emission buses by 2035. Core procurement categories include electric buses and charging infrastructure, major transport projects via NEC4 contracts, ICT systems like next-generation ticketing and finance platforms, with current open tenders valued at €158 million.
