    Brief

    The Contracting Authority is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to streamline schoolbook procurement for Ireland's Education and Training Boards (ETBs). This framework will serve multi-faith community national schools, post-primary schools, and further education colleges across Ireland. The DPS aims to: (1) reduce administrative and transaction costs through a centralized procurement process, (2) enable volume discounts by consolidating purchasing power, (3) support sustainable and environmentally friendly delivery solutions, and (4) simplify the procurement process for educational institutions and approved schoolbook suppliers. Suppliers interested in joining this DPS will gain access to multiple educational customers while helping schools reduce costs and environmental impact.
