    Brief

    The Irish Department of Education is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to supply schoolbooks and eBooks to Community and Comprehensive Secondary Schools and Voluntary Secondary Schools participating in the Free Education Scheme, excluding schools managed by Education and Training Boards (ETBs). This centralized procurement framework is designed for the 2025/2026 academic year and beyond, streamlining the book procurement process for eligible schools. Suppliers can register to offer schoolbooks and digital educational materials through this system. The DPS allows schools to efficiently source required materials while providing vendors with access to a consolidated buyer base across participating secondary institutions.
