Professional Services and other accounted for 53 of 79 awards (67 percent) and EUR449.12m (59 percent) of the value.

Before the named-winner table: 1 award larger than the 10th-ranked named win do not disclose a supplier in structured form and sit outside the table below. These are typically confidential framework awards or multi-tenderer frameworks:

• IBM - Unknown - EUR175.00m

Top 10 named winners this week (by value)

What stood out

• The 10 largest contracts take EUR729.67m, or 96.1 percent of the week’s EUR759.01m total. The remaining 69 awards share EUR29.33m between them.
• Professional Services and other dominated: 53 of 79 awards (67 percent) and EUR449.12m (59 percent) of the disclosed value.
• 9 of the 79 notices were framework or multi-party framework awards, worth EUR8.28m in aggregate. These set ceilings rather than committed spend, so actual drawdowns will land below the headline figures.
• Week on week: total value up 220.7 percent (EUR236.68m last week, EUR759.01m this week); awards down 7 (was 86, now 79).

About this data

All figures on this page come directly from the official TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) procurement database, the European Union’s legal publication record for public contracts. Winner names are extracted from the structured XML lodged with each award notice.

This post is generated automatically each Monday from award notices published in the previous seven days. No AI-generated narrative has been applied to the figures: counts, totals and rankings are computed deterministically from the source JSON.

Known limitations:

• TED publishes award notices with a typical lag of 1-3 days after eTenders.gov.ie. Very recent awards may not appear until next week’s roundup.
• Estimated values are reported as supplied by the contracting authority on the notice itself. They may differ from the final contract value actually paid.
• A share of award notices do not expose a named winner in structured form (typically confidential awards, multi-tenderer frameworks, or older notice formats). These are counted in the totals above but do not appear in the named-winner tables.
• Some notices publish a nominal estimated value of EUR1 as a placeholder when the real figure is confidential. These appear in the named-awards table as EUR1 and are not errors - they are how TED allows authorities to decline to disclose a value.
• Contract modifications (can-modif notices) and prior-information notices are excluded; only standard and social-services award notices are included.
• Always verify any figure against the linked TED notice before making a commercial or editorial decision based on it.
