Key procurement sectors
Ireland procurement landscape
Uisce Éireann operates Ireland's largest multi-year civil infrastructure programme, driven by decades of underinvestment in the water network and by stringent European Union urban wastewater treatment directive requirements. The organisation's 2014 launch was politically contentious — mass protests against proposed domestic water charges ultimately led to the charges being abolished and the utility transitioning to full exchequer funding, which now anchors its capital budget. The two highest-profile capital projects are the Greater Dublin Drainage scheme, a major wastewater treatment facility to serve the growing greater Dublin region, and the Eastern and Midlands Water Supply Project, a large water supply pipeline from the River Shannon intended to address medium-term demand growth in the Dublin area. EU wastewater directives continue to drive upgrade procurement in smaller urban areas that remain non-compliant. The procurement portfolio spans network rehabilitation, new water-treatment plants, wastewater treatment upgrades, sludge management, pumping infrastructure, smart metering, and professional engineering services.
Bidding on Ireland tenders.
Uisce Éireann uses a pre-qualification model for larger capital contracts and an approved contractor framework for repeat works packages. Vendors register through the eTenders portal and must meet financial standing, technical experience, and insurance requirements. Large capital projects are tendered under EU public procurement directives given the contract values involved.
Why search Uisce Éireann (Irish Water) with Hook?
Uisce Éireann publishes notices across eTenders and its own procurement pages across a rolling multi-year capital programme. Monitoring all relevant contract packages manually requires significant administrative effort.

Uisce Éireann (Irish Water) — FAQ.
What is the Greater Dublin Drainage project? +
Greater Dublin Drainage is a major proposed wastewater treatment facility and associated infrastructure to serve the growing greater Dublin catchment, resolving EU wastewater directive compliance and long-term capacity constraints.
Why does Uisce Éireann use exchequer funding rather than charges? +
Following mass public protests against domestic water charges in 2014–2016, charges were suspended and later effectively abolished. Uisce Éireann now relies on central government exchequer funding for its capital programme.
What EU rules drive the procurement pipeline? +
EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive compliance is a major driver — many Irish wastewater treatment facilities are non-compliant, requiring upgrade investments. Drinking water quality directives also influence works procurement.

Contract types include water-treatment plant construction and upgrade, wastewater treatment facilities, network mains rehabilitation, pumping stations, sludge-management infrastructure, smart metering, and engineering consultancy.
