Irish Rail awards: €3.23m in disclosed contract values across a 12-month buyer profile
By William O'Meara · 09 Sep 2026
Iarnród Eireann-Irish Rail has 138 deduplicated awards in TenderMatch's rolling 12-month buyer summary. The corpus records €3,234,474.34 in disclosed contract values and, separately, €34,284,927.21 in framework ceilings.
These figures measure different things. Disclosed contract values are not evidence of payments made. Framework ceilings are potential values, not actual spend, and should not be added to contract values to produce a spending total.
Which suppliers lead by award count?
Dixon Bros.(Agriculture and Plant) leads the returned supplier ranking with 17 awards.
| Supplier | Deduplicated awards |
|---|---|
| Dixon Bros.(Agriculture and Plant) | 17 |
| Oliver Dixon Hedgecutting and Plant Hire Ltd | 9 |
| SAF Building and Civil Engineering Ltd | 8 |
| Breffni Group | 7 |
| CWS Communications LTD | 7 |
This is a ranking by award count. The summary does not disclose contract-value totals for these suppliers, so it does not establish which received the most money.
Recent awards cover labour support and plant hire
The recent-awards query includes the following Irish Rail records, each dated 04 September 2026:
| Award | Named winner | Recorded value |
|---|---|---|
| 7946-371 Points building labour support south | CWS Communications LTD | €619,200.00 estimated value (framework ceiling) |
| 7946-375 TDU- Main Labour Hire North Contract 1 | CWS Communications LTD | €474,702.50 estimated value (framework ceiling) |
Breffni Group's panel relaying plant award, titled “9596-14 Panel Relaying Plant Contract 3”, is dated 07 September 2026 and records €42,140.00 estimated value (framework ceiling).
The framework classification matters when reading these notices: the listed figures do not establish expenditure or payments to the named suppliers.
Scope of the figures
The buyer totals and supplier counts come from TenderMatch's deduplicated rolling 12-month award summary for Iarnród Eireann-Irish Rail. The recent examples come from a separate query covering the last 7 days, limited to 30 results across buyers. They are selected examples, not a complete list of Irish Rail procurement.
The figures describe awards captured in TenderMatch's corpus. They are not an audited account of the buyer's expenditure. The buyer page and linked award records provide the underlying data pages for further review.
