Ceist:

375. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation further to his reply that his Department ‘has no role in monitoring compliance’ to set out whether the eTenders platform currently captures sufficient data to produce central compliance statistics for Circular 05/2023 (e.g. counts of advertisements at/above €50,000 for goods/services, €200,000 for works, €50,000 for works-related services; publication of all awards €25,000 including off-platform procurements; and timely completion of contract-award data fields); if so, to publish those statistics by quarter since Quarter 2 2023; and if not, the technical changes and timeline which are required to enable such reporting.

Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation

I propose to take Questions Nos. 375 and 380 together.

My Department has made available on the Open Data Portal, a dataset of Public Procurement information from the eTenders platform, covering the period 01/01/2013 to 30/09/2025.

https://data.gov.ie/dataset/contract-notices-published-on-etenders.

The dataset provides comprehensive information on public sector procurement activities in Ireland. This dataset includes detailed records of tender notices, contract awards, procurement procedures, and supplier information. It covers a wide range of sectors and contracting authorities, offering insights into government tendering, transparency, and market opportunities. The dataset will be updated quarterly and adheres to open data standards, making it accessible for analysis, research and reuse.
