    Brief

    The Education and Training Boards (ETBs) in Ireland are establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to streamline the procurement of schoolbooks for multi-faith community national schools, post-primary schools, and further education colleges. This framework agreement aims to reduce administrative costs and transaction burdens through volume discounts while promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly delivery practices. Schoolbook suppliers can join the DPS to access a consistent customer base across Ireland's education sector, and ETBs benefit from a pre-qualified supplier network that ensures competitive pricing and efficient procurement processes.
