Procurement Intelligence

Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB) is the statutory education and training authority for the Waterford and Wexford region, responsible for schools, further education and training (FET) centres, and apprenticeship and training services.[2][9] It runs a significant estate of schools, colleges, adult education centres and training facilities, and is the SOLAS-designated training provider in the region, giving it a substantial and recurring procurement footprint in both current and capital spending.[2][9] Core procurement categories include construction and capital works for education facilities, facilities maintenance (e.g. plumbing frameworks), training-related consumables and equipment (engineering, automotive, HGV, agricultural), ICT systems, and learner transport and support services.[4][6][9][10][11][12][15] WWETB conducts its procurement through structured corporate plans and policies, with competitions and frameworks advertised via the national eTenders platform and, for larger contracts, in the EU’s TED system.[1][3][5][7][10][11][14][15]

Strategic Context

WWETB has a published Corporate Procurement Plan 2025 and a formal Procurement Policy, indicating a multi‑annual, planned approach to sourcing and compliance with national and EU rules.[1][3][5] Its capital projects function is active, with all capital works tenders above €50,000 ex VAT routed through eTenders and named officers for school and FET buildings, pointing to ongoing investment in its estate.[9] Recent EU and national notices show multiple framework agreements for automotive technician apprenticeship vehicles and equipment, engineering consumables, contracted training services, and electronic recruitment systems, suggesting a focus on modernising training infrastructure, supporting apprenticeships, and digitising HR and procurement processes within a stable but strategically expanding budget envelope.[4][6][10][11][15]

Typical Suppliers

Regional and national construction and building contractors delivering school and FET capital projects and maintenance works, including plumbing maintenance frameworks for WWETB schools and centres.[9][12]
Specialist training and education providers appointed to multi‑supplier frameworks for contracted training services across apprenticeships and further education programmes.[11]
Industrial and engineering supply companies providing consumables for training centres, such as insulation, sheet metal and steel under multi‑lot engineering consumables frameworks.[4]
Automotive, HGV and agricultural equipment and consumables suppliers supporting apprenticeship and vehicle‑related training, including single‑supplier and multi‑supplier frameworks for vehicles, tools and associated services.[6][10][13]
ICT and software vendors supplying systems such as electronic Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to manage WWETB recruitment and onboarding, and other back‑office and education support technologies.[15]

Supplier Tips

Align offerings with WWETB’s framework‑driven approach: monitor eTenders for WWETB competitions and be prepared to bid into multi‑supplier frameworks for training services, engineering/automotive consumables, and maintenance rather than only standalone contracts.[4][6][11][12]
Demonstrate education-sector experience and capacity to support apprenticeship and FET delivery, as many WWETB procurements specify training-centre or school environments and require reliable service across multiple sites in Waterford and Wexford.[2][6][9][11]
Engage early with capital and procurement contacts listed on WWETB’s capital projects and procurement pages (within allowed rules) to understand upcoming building programmes, estate maintenance priorities, and digital system needs, and tailor proposals to support their multi‑annual procurement plan and compliance requirements.[1][5][9][14][15]
