Tipperary Education and Training Board Tenders & Contract Awards

Procurement Intelligence

Tipperary Education and Training Board (Tipperary ETB) is a statutory education authority responsible for post‑primary schools, further education and training (FET), youth services and adult/community education across County Tipperary. It operates and supports multiple second‑level schools, FET colleges, training centres and community education programmes, and procures extensively in construction-related professional services, building works, education equipment and learning materials.[1][2][3] Typical procurement includes consultancy services for school accommodation projects, classroom fit‑out and equipment, art and engineering class materials, ICT and facilities-related supplies.[1][2][3][5] The authority uses the national eTenders platform for all above‑threshold competitions and routinely runs both works/service contracts for specific schools and framework‑type competitions for education materials.[1][2][3][5]

Strategic Context

Recent years show an active capital and refurbishment pipeline, including additional accommodation schemes (e.g. SEN base and associated works at St. Joseph’s College, Borrisoleigh procured via Tipperary ETB on behalf of the Board of Management).[1] The ETB has also invested in specialist teaching and workshop environments, as indicated by procurements for construction and electronic classroom equipment with an estimated value of €500,000, reflecting an ongoing focus on modernising FET and practical learning facilities.[3] Recurring competitions for class materials (e.g. engineering and art) suggest stable programme delivery but with a need to manage budgets carefully through multi‑year or call‑off arrangements.[2][5]
