Procurement

Procurement extends beyond regulatory compliance; it involves strategic planning to achieve value for money, cost certainty and efficiency.

Every year, the Irish Government engages in the procurement of works, services and goods, adhering to national regulations and EU Procurement Law. This legal framework mandates public buyers to uphold principles such as non-discrimination, equal treatment, transparency and proportionality in the planning, compilation, and evaluation of tenders. National rules, including the Capital Works Management Framework and the Public Spending Code, govern the procurement of works and work-related services.

For public authorities, procurement is a potent instrument for spending public funds efficiently, sustainably and strategically. The government, aligning with recent policies and strategies on Green Public Procurement (GPP), is dedicated to leveraging its purchasing power to drive innovation that reduces emissions, and safeguards the environment throughout the lifecycle of works, services, and goods.

ANA possesses the knowledge, skills and experience to assist public authorities in complying with these laws. We specialise in designing procurement processes that not only meet legal requirements but also align with crucial policies and strategies, ensuring effective implementation of these initiatives.
