    Brief

    This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) enables Education and Training Boards (ETBs) in Ireland to procure schoolbooks efficiently for multi-faith community national schools, post-primary schools, and further education colleges. The system is designed to streamline the procurement process, reduce administrative costs and transaction burdens, and encourage volume discounts for participating suppliers and institutions. The initiative prioritizes sustainable and environmentally friendly delivery solutions. Suppliers can register to participate in this open, flexible framework that allows ETBs to make purchases throughout the contract period without repeated tendering.
