Ireland: Dynamic Purchasing System for Schoolbooks and eBooks for Secondary Schools

The Irish Department of Education is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to centrally procure schoolbooks and eBooks for eligible secondary schools participating in the Free Education Scheme. This system will serve Community and Comprehensive Schools, as well as Voluntary Secondary Schools (excluding Education and Training Board schools) for the 2025/2026 academic year and beyond. The DPS aims to streamline the procurement process, reduce administrative burden on individual schools, and ensure consistent access to educational materials. Suppliers interested in providing schoolbooks and digital learning materials to Irish secondary schools should monitor this opportunity for vendor registration and supply contract details.
