Uisce Éireann

Procurement Intelligence

Uisce Éireann, formerly Irish Water, is Ireland's national water utility responsible for the provision, treatment, and distribution of water and wastewater services across the country, operating at a large scale with significant infrastructure investments. Core functions include managing water supply projects, drainage schemes, and related maintenance to support economic growth and housing delivery. Primary procurement categories encompass large-scale construction for water and wastewater infrastructure, alongside goods, services, and framework agreements published via eTenders.

Strategic Context

Uisce Éireann is actively procuring for major capital programmes, including the €7 billion combined investment in the Greater Dublin Drainage scheme and the Water Supply Project for the Eastern and Midlands Region, with pre-qualification questionnaires launched recently. Preliminary works for Greater Dublin Drainage are scheduled to commence by year-end, with main works tenders to follow in parallel. These initiatives align with government targets for housing and economic growth, driving high-value procurement in infrastructure.
