Weekly Briefing
The Irish IT Services procurement landscape features 53 active tenders worth €88.
The Irish IT Services procurement landscape features 53 active tenders worth €88.5 million, led by Uisce Éireann, Tailte Éireann, and Dublin City Council, including webcasting, digital platforms, and software renewals. HSE’s €263 million Digital for Care Capital Plan 2026 drives major investments in electronic health records, AI, cloud telephony, and cyber resilience. Government approval accelerates procurement for a National Electronic Health Record, signaling robust public sector demand.
Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill approved €263 million for HSE Digital for Care Capital Plan 2026, including EHR procurement commencement, as published 24 February 2026.
Key Drivers
HSE Digital Funding
€263 million approved for HSE’s 2026 digital plans funds electronic prescribing, Health App enhancements, wireless connectivity, and AI projects to release 500,000 admin hours. Procurement for national EHR shortlisting has commenced following Government approval. This creates high-value opportunities in health IT integration and infrastructure.
Open High-Value Tenders
53 tenders totaling €88.5 million active, with key opportunities in cloud telephony, Oracle/SharePoint support, and digital library hosting. Buyers like Uisce Éireann and Dublin City Council prioritize MEAT criteria emphasizing quality (60-70%) over cost. Frameworks and DPS offer recurring revenue for IT service providers.
Energy & Cyber Policies
Large Energy Action Plan enables data centre growth post-moratorium lift, boosting IT infrastructure demand near renewables. Digital Business Ireland urges Government action on EU Cybersecurity Act 2.0 to mitigate supply chain procurement risks for SMEs.
Outlook
Monitor HSE procurement timelines for national EHR, electronic prescribing (completion by end-2026), and Children’s Health Ireland ICT rollout. Watch tender closures for cloud telephony and SharePoint services amid April RFPs. Prepare for EU cybersecurity rules impacting IT contracts via supply chains in coming weeks.
