The new eTenders service is now live, as of Monday 15 May 2023 and new competitions commenced publishing on the platform on 22 May.
The previous eTenders platform will continue to be available for all users until May 2024, to enable all in progress competitions to be completed on the current platform – these will not migrate to the new platform.
It is important to note that no concluded (closed) or cancelled competitions on the current platform will be migrated to the new platform.
As a result, access to historic data will be available to all users until an alternative access method is made available – no data except registration details and arrangements such as established Frameworks, DPS and Qualification systems will migrate to the new platform, to enable new drawdowns to take place from 22 May.
You will find targeted information for businesses and contracting authorities on dedicated webpages below.
THE TIMELINE
Competitions which have been published before 15 May 2023 can be completed on the existing platform, while all new competitions must be published on the new platform from Go-Live.
The current platform will continue until May 2024 to enable all in progress competitions to be completed on the current platform. These will not migrate to the new platform. The deadline for completion of competitions on the current platform is 19 May 2023. All competitions (and the first stages of multi stage competitions) must be concluded in the current platform before that date to protect their integrity. The OGP are aware that there will be exceptional circumstances where this may not be possible and we are actively investigating options for these competitions.
All new competitions will start on the new platform once it is live in April 2023. Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS, Utilities QS) and Frameworks will be available on the new platform from Go-live to facilitate drawdowns.
Start up guides are available here https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/9a109-etenders-is-changing-updates-for-businesses/ for suppliers and here https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/5a81a-etenders-is-changing-updates-for-contracting-authorities for Contracting Authorities.
