Who Won Irish Public Contracts - Week of 18-24 May 2026

Browse the full Awards index for every recently awarded Irish public contract — updated daily.

One construction framework accounts for EUR1 in every EUR1.38 awarded this week

Irish public bodies published 120 contract awards with a combined disclosed value of EUR1675.22m across the 100 notices that report a figure between 18 May and 24 May 2026.

Other and professional services accounted for 71 of 120 awards (59 percent) and EUR381.47m (23 percent) of the value.

Before the named-winner table: 100 awards larger than the 0th-ranked named win do not disclose a supplier in structured form and sit outside the table below. These are typically confidential framework awards or multi-tenderer frameworks:

• SEAI Energy Poverty Programme Multi Supplier Framework 2026 - Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland - EUR1216.00m
• Lot 1 - The Office of Government Procurement - EUR200.00m
• Lot 1 Schemes with an Estimated Construction Value of greater than € 10 Million and/or - Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) - EUR54.83m
• 7 - Iarnród Eireann-Irish Rail - EUR50.00m
• Intrusive Ground Investigation Services - EirGrid plc - EUR36.00m

What stood out

• The 10 largest contracts take EUR1610.18m, or 96.1 percent of the week’s EUR1675.22m total. The remaining 110 awards share EUR65.03m between them.
• Other and professional services dominated: 71 of 120 awards (59 percent) and EUR381.47m (23 percent) of the disclosed value.
• 23 of the 120 notices were framework or multi-party framework awards, worth EUR1259.92m in aggregate. These set ceilings rather than committed spend, so actual drawdowns will land below the headline figures.
• Week on week: total value up 198.8 percent (EUR560.56m last week, EUR1675.22m this week); awards up 28 (was 92, now 120).

Most active buyers this week

Contracting authorities ranked by number of award notices published. Counts include notices where a named winner was not published, so a buyer’s count here can exceed its appearances in the named-awards table above.

About this data

All figures on this page come directly from the official TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) procurement database, the European Union’s legal publication record for public contracts. Winner names are extracted from the structured XML lodged with each award notice.

This post is generated automatically each Monday from award notices published in the previous seven days. No AI-generated narrative has been applied to the figures: counts, totals and rankings are computed deterministically from the source JSON.

Known limitations:

• TED publishes award notices with a typical lag of 1-3 days after eTenders.gov.ie. Very recent awards may not appear until next week’s roundup.
• Estimated values are reported as supplied by the contracting authority on the notice itself. They may differ from the final contract value actually paid.
• A share of award notices do not expose a named winner in structured form (typically confidential awards, multi-tenderer frameworks, or older notice formats). These are counted in the totals above but do not appear in the named-winner tables.
• Some notices publish a nominal estimated value of EUR1 as a placeholder when the real figure is confidential. These appear in the named-awards table as EUR1 and are not errors - they are how TED allows authorities to decline to disclose a value.
• Contract modifications (can-modif notices) and prior-information notices are excluded; only standard and social-services award notices are included.
• Always verify any figure against the linked TED notice before making a commercial or editorial decision based on it.
