Procurement Contracts/Frameworks for Schools

It is Government policy that public bodies, where possible, should make use of all central frameworks by the public bodies under their remit. The benefits arising from these frameworks include: cash savings; administrative savings from reduced duplication of tendering; greater purchasing expertise; improved consistency; enhanced service levels and legal certainty.

The frameworks below are fully accessible to view in detail, only by registering your school as a “Buyer” on http://ogp.gov.ie/.
