Brief

The Irish Department of Education is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide a centralized procurement solution for schoolbooks and eBooks to Community and Comprehensive Schools and Voluntary Secondary Schools participating in the Free Education Scheme. This opportunity is designed for the 2025/2026 academic year and beyond. The DPS will streamline the book procurement process for eligible secondary schools by offering a pre-approved supplier framework. Suppliers interested in participating should note that this system excludes Education and Training Board (ETB) schools and applies specifically to the Free Education Scheme. This is a significant opportunity for publishers and distributors to secure contracts for supplying educational materials to multiple secondary schools across Ireland's education system.
