Information systems and servers market in Ireland: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

  • Since November 2023, 48 companies have won 95 public supply contracts for information systems and servers in Ireland, in 58 award notices from 27 public buyers.
  • 82.1% of these awards went to companies registered in Ireland; the most frequent foreign origin is United Kingdom.

  • 13.6% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Ireland — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €50.3 billion in 2025, 8.3% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.

Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
