Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers

Suppliers can access opportunities to sell to Government on the national
tendering platform, eTenders. Public sector bodies advertise a variety of
procurement opportunities on eTenders.
eTenders also contains Contract Award Notices (CAN), and Prior Indicative
Notices (PIN), along with tender documents that can be downloaded from
the site.

To access eTenders, suppliers need to register on the site. Once registered,
they can set up email alerts for new tender competitions published that
are relevant to their business. These email alerts are based on Common
Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes that reference different categories
of goods and services, including catering products (such as cups, cutlery,
napkins etc.), catering/canteen services, hospitality services and light
catering equipment.

Visit www.gov.ie/ogp for more information. Suppliers can also watch a
video of a food supplier that worked with the OGP here.

Purchasing policy and supplier requirements

Each procurement opportunity has specific requirements detailed in the
tender documents.
