Current purchasing activity indicates continued investment in digital policing, operational technology, public-order capability and estate-related services, including tenders for DigiCert services, property and exhibits management-system equipment, public-order personal protective equipment and motorcycle helmets. A 2025 award for a legal document and case-management system was valued at approximately €699,540, while body-worn-camera proof-of-concept contracts were awarded to Tetra Ireland, Butler Secure Solutions and Sigma Wireless Communications for a combined value of approximately €4.62 million. Capital expenditure is governed through a formal Garda capital plan approved through the Garda governance framework, with procurement timing therefore linked to annual capital planning, operational priorities and available public funding.
