HSE's €400m Healthcare Capital Framework Anchors This Week's Notices

This week's standout Irish public tenders — what to watch and where the deadlines fall.

The Health Service Executive and Grangegorman Development Agency are driving a dominant professional-services cluster this week. Across all sectors, from Bus Éireann coach replacements to a TG4 newsroom system, the breadth of live opportunities makes this one of the heavier weeks of the year.

Professional Services

The HSE has two live notices each valued at €400 million for acute healthcare capital works in the €15m–€60m project-value band, making this framework the single largest opportunity on the market this week. Grangegorman Development Agency adds a €200 million multi-party framework for technical consultancy services, with a deadline of 29 May 2026.
