Architecture tenders and design competitions in Ireland

Irish public buyers appoint architects and design teams under the European Union (Award of Public Authority Contracts) Regulations 2016 and the Government's Capital Works Management Framework, which sets the standard procedures and contracts for public works. Most design work is tendered as design team services, and significant civic projects are sometimes commissioned through an architectural design competition. TenderDesk's Irish feed comes from TED.

Questions

Where are architecture tenders published in Ireland?
On eTenders, the national procurement website run by the Office of Government Procurement, which shows every Irish public contract advertised in the Official Journal of the EU as well as lower-value contracts, and in TED for contracts above the EU thresholds. TenderDesk shows the TED notices, scored so the real design commissions come first.
Who runs architectural design competitions in Ireland?
The RIAI, the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland, runs a competition service for public and private clients. It advises on the format (one or two stages, open or restricted), the appointment of assessors and the competition rules, and expects entries to be anonymous and the winner to receive a commission.
Can an architecture firm from another country bid in Ireland?
Yes. Public tenders in the EU are open to firms from other member states on equal terms, and many teams pair a foreign lead with a local partner. Check the tender's requirements for professional registration (the RIAI, the statutory registration body; the title of architect is protected in Ireland) and for the language of the submission.
