Facilities & Maintenance Procurement in Ireland
Facilities and maintenance procurement covers the ongoing operational needs of Ireland's public buildings, offices, hospitals, schools, courts, and government buildings. Common tender types include cleaning and hygiene services, security guarding and alarm monitoring, mechanical and electrical maintenance, lift maintenance, grounds maintenance, pest control, and waste collection. The OGP manages several national frameworks for common facilities services, and local authorities regularly tender for building maintenance in their areas. These contracts often suit SMEs due to regional lot structures and the labour-intensive nature of the services.
Tips for Bidding on Facilities & Maintenance Tenders
The OGP runs frameworks for cleaning, security, and building maintenance, check if the next framework refresh is open for new entrants.
Facilities contracts are often divided into regional lots, you don't need national coverage to compete.
For cleaning tenders, demonstrate compliance with the Organisation of Working Time Act and the sectoral employment order (minimum rates of pay).
Security guarding contracts require PSA (Private Security Authority) licensing for your company and all personnel.
Include your social value offer, many facilities tenders now score community employment, training opportunities, and sustainability measures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What facilities management services do Irish public bodies tender for?
Common FM services include contract cleaning, security guarding and patrols, CCTV and alarm monitoring, mechanical and electrical maintenance (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), lift maintenance, grounds and landscaping, pest control, waste management, and total facilities management (TFM) contracts that bundle multiple services.
Do I need PSA licensing for public sector security contracts in Ireland?
Yes. All companies and individuals providing security services in Ireland must hold a current licence from the Private Security Authority (PSA). This applies to security guarding, door supervision, CCTV monitoring, and security consultancy. Unlicensed security provision is a criminal offence.
How are cleaning contracts awarded in Irish public procurement?
Cleaning contracts are typically awarded through the OGP's national cleaning framework or through individual tenders by public bodies. Evaluation usually considers price, quality of service methodology, staff training and supervision, environmental cleaning products, and social considerations including employment conditions and Living Wage commitment.
Can small companies win facilities management tenders in Ireland?
Yes. Facilities tenders are frequently divided into regional or site-specific lots, making them accessible to local SMEs. The OGP's cleaning and security frameworks include lots specifically sized for smaller operators. Demonstrating local knowledge, responsiveness, and quality of service can outweigh scale in evaluation.
