    Brief

    The Irish Department of Education is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to supply schoolbooks and eBooks to Community, Comprehensive, and Voluntary Secondary Schools participating in the Free Education Scheme for 2025/2026 and beyond. This centralized procurement framework excludes Education and Training Board (ETB) schools and aims to streamline the book procurement process for eligible schools. Suppliers can register to provide physical and digital educational materials through this dynamic system, which allows schools to access approved vendors and manage their textbook purchases more efficiently. This represents an ongoing opportunity for educational publishers and distributors to serve the Irish secondary education sector.
