    Brief

    The Irish education system is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to streamline schoolbook procurement for Education and Training Boards (ETBs). This framework will serve multi-faith community national schools, post-primary schools, and further education colleges by consolidating purchasing through a centralized supplier network. Key benefits include volume discounts, reduced administrative costs, and simplified transaction processes. Suppliers joining this DPS should be prepared to offer competitive pricing, reliable delivery schedules, and sustainable, environmentally friendly logistics solutions. This is an ongoing purchasing arrangement that allows ETBs to continuously add suppliers and manage schoolbook orders efficiently.
