    Brief

    This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) enables Education and Training Boards (ETBs) in Ireland to procure Further Education and Training (FET) services on an ongoing basis. The system supports the delivery of vocational, occupational, technical, professional, and employability programmes, including accredited and non-accredited courses, industry certifications, apprenticeship supports, digital and green skills initiatives, and workforce development programmes. Eligible services include tutor provision, learner support, programme administration, assessment and certification support, employer engagement, workplace learning coordination, and related operational services necessary for successful delivery. The DPS may also cover limited programme content adaptation and enhancement where directly supporting training delivery. The system is open to multiple programme areas and occupational disciplines across the ETB sector. Note: The DPS is not intended for standalone consultancy, strategic advisory, policy development, or research projects where training delivery is not the primary purpose. Suppliers interested in joining should prepare to demonstrate capability in FET service delivery and learner support.
