Difficulties with Government Tendering Process

The Small Firms Association recently surveyed their members with regard to tendering for goods and services to the Irish public sector, local government and state agencies. In the last 3 years, 65% of the 649 companies who responded to the survey have not tendered for any work with these sectors. In light of this lost opportunity for companies, the SFA Director, Patricia Callan has called on the government to over hall the public procurement procedures to make it easier for Irish businesses to win these valuable contracts.

Many Irish businesses who have taken part in tendering know that it can be a time consuming and confusing process but with the market worth €14bn especially for exporters. Irish businesses who have won contracts with the Irish public sector are more attractive to non-Irish companies interested in Irish exporters so it can increase awareness and opportunities for Irish businesses.

At Amatino Partners, we have experience in the tendering process, in particular with the HSE, OPW, Forfas, Department of Education and County Councils. We work closely with our clients throughout the tendering process to help them increase the competitiveness of the tender.
