Typical entry requirements

  • Tax clearance: A valid Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) from Revenue is required for all public contracts.[source]
  • Data protection / GDPR processor agreement: Any supplier that processes personal data on behalf of an Irish public body must enter into a Data Processing Agreement under Article 28 GDPR. The Data Protection Commission publishes model clauses. This is a standard contractual requirement, not a certification.[source]
  • Information security baseline (where handling State data): Contracts involving access to sensitive Government systems or citizen data increasingly require suppliers to demonstrate an information security baseline. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) publishes the baseline security standard for Government ICT.[source]
