How Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) buys: competition & SME-access profile

Open-market vs limited-competition mix · average bids · SME-access ratio

Procurement Intelligence

The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) is an independent statutory authority responsible for promoting safety and quality in health and social care services across Ireland, including public, private and voluntary providers.[9] It regulates and monitors services such as hospitals, social care, disability, and older persons’ services, and also has a remit in health information and health technology assessment.[6][9] HIQA’s scale is national rather than service-delivery focused, with expenditure primarily on staff, expert advisory and support services rather than large clinical capital programmes.[9] Its procurement activity is concentrated in **professional services** (research, consultancy, health technology assessment support, evaluation, communications) and **IT services** (data management, analytics, information systems and digital tools to support regulation and health information functions).[6][9]

Strategic Context

HIQA’s 2026 Business Plan sets out priorities around strengthening regulation and monitoring, advancing health information initiatives, and delivering health technology assessments to support evidence-based decision-making in the health system.[9][6] The plan highlights a continued focus on digital and data capabilities, including improved health information infrastructure and analytical capacity, which drives demand for IT services and specialist professional services.[9][6] As an oversight body rather than a service provider, HIQA’s budget is directed towards operational programmes, regulatory frameworks and analytical projects, implying steady, programme-based procurement rather than very large, one-off capital builds.[9][6]

Typical Suppliers

  • Specialist health economics and health technology assessment consultancies supporting HIQA’s evaluation of clinical and cost-effectiveness of technologies.[6]
  • Regulatory, policy, and research consultancy firms providing studies, evaluations, and guidance on health and social care quality standards and service performance.[6][9]
  • IT services providers offering data management, analytics platforms, information systems and digital tools for health information, case management and regulatory workflows.[9]
  • Professional training and organisational development providers delivering programmes on quality improvement, governance, and regulatory compliance for health and social care services.[9]
  • Communications and stakeholder engagement agencies supporting public information campaigns, guidance materials, and digital content related to HIQA’s standards and regulatory work.[9]

Supplier Tips

  • Align proposals with HIQA’s published Business Plan priorities (regulation and monitoring, health information, and health technology assessment), demonstrating clear contributions to safety, quality, and evidence-based decision-making in health and social care.[9][6]
  • Emphasise proven experience in regulated health and social care environments and the ability to work with sensitive health information, including robust data governance, security, and compliance with Irish and EU health data standards.[6][9]
  • Monitor HIQA tenders on the national procurement platform and prepare concise, methodologically robust responses that show strong subject-matter expertise, clear project governance, and the capacity to deliver analytical outputs and digital solutions on time within a public sector context.[6][9]
