EirGrid hunts €43m energy trading partner as daa tests Maldron hotel operator market

This week's standout Irish public tenders — what to watch and where the deadlines fall.

EirGrid’s search for an Energy Trading Partner, valued at €43.2m, signals a significant commercial commitment at the heart of Ireland’s electricity market. Meanwhile, daa plc’s €126m tender for a short-term operator at the Dublin Airport Maldron hotel suggests the State airport authority is repositioning a high-profile hospitality asset.

Professional Services

EirGrid’s €43.2m Energy Trading Partner procurement is the standout, with no deadline published — watch eTenders for clarification. The Office of Government Procurement is also running an Accounting Services framework with an estimated contract value up to €140,000 per engagement, closing 5 October.
