Public Procurement Contracts
Dail Éireann — 2025-11-05
============================================================

Jack Chambers (FF), Dublin West

The relevant Minister of State, Deputy Higgins, is doing extensive work on procurement reform. She has led extensive engagement across the country with SMEs and businesses on how we can have better engagement in the tendering process to have more competition and participation by SMEs. There are reforms happening at EU level as part of that too. All elements of streamlining are our focus so as to deliver infrastructure better across our economy and also provide value for citizens regarding what is delivered. The Minister of State, Deputy Higgins, is advancing procurement reforms, which we hope to publish by the end of the year.
