The Health Service Executive has established a single-supplier framework to deliver the National Medicines Management System across Ireland's hospital network. The contract, valued at €27.9m, covers supply, installation and ongoing maintenance of a Hospital Medicines Management System (HMMS) to the HSE and HSE-funded hospitals and agencies.
A single-supplier framework allows the buyer to appoint one provider to deliver services over an agreed period, rather than running separate competitive tenders for each call-off. This approach streamlines procurement for the health service while locking in a defined budget.
The award was published on 14 July 2026. Suppliers looking to understand the framework's scope or future call-off opportunities under this arrangement should monitor the HSE's procurement activity on the European tender portal.
