Brief

The Irish Department of Education is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide centralized procurement of schoolbooks and eBooks for Community and Comprehensive Secondary Schools and Voluntary Secondary Schools participating in the Free Education Scheme, excluding ETB schools. This framework will streamline the textbook supply process for the 2025/2026 school year and beyond, making it easier for schools to access approved educational materials. Suppliers can register to provide physical textbooks, digital eBooks, and related educational resources through this system. This is an opportunity for publishers and educational material distributors to secure contracts with multiple schools across Ireland's secondary education sector through a single, dynamic purchasing agreement.
