eTenders is changing

From 15 May 2023, eTenders will be hosted on a new platform. Small firms are advised to follow the below steps and register for training webinars to ensure they can still access opportunities. Businesses will be able to access the platform through the current address (etenders.gov.ie ).

What does this mean for my business on eTenders?

If you are registered on the existing eTenders platform, your registration details will be transferred to the new platform. However, you will need to re-input some information such as business alerts, as well as some additional data, on first login. We advise that you allocate around 20 minutes to update your information.

Once you have updated all of your details, you will be able to fully access the new platform. Given that this is a new system, the user experience will be different, and we advise that you allow time to become familiar with the new platform. New competitions will be published on the platform from 22 May onwards.
