Irish Rail awards: 208 records, €2.25m in disclosed contract values and leading suppliers
By William O'Meara · 29 Oct 2026
TenderMatch's Irish Rail buyer profile records 208 awards over the past 12 months. The disclosed contract value total is €2,248,799.74. Separately, the summary reports €31,016,360.61 in framework ceilings.
These figures describe different things. Disclosed contract values are not a measure of payments made, and framework ceilings are not actual spend. Adding them together would not establish how much Irish Rail has spent.
Who leads by award count?
Dixon Bros.(Agriculture and Plant) leads the returned supplier ranking with 38 awards. Breffni Group follows with 16, then CWS Communications LTD with 15.
The summary supplies no disclosed contract total for these suppliers. Their ranking is by award count, so it does not establish which supplier received the greatest contract value or the most payments.

Scope of the figures
The totals and supplier ranking come from TenderMatch's deduplicated buyer award summary for the past 12 months. The examples come from its recent-awards query covering the past 7 days, limited to 30 results across buyers. They are selected examples, not a complete list of Irish Rail's work. The figures describe records in TenderMatch's corpus, not audited expenditure.
