Irish Rail awards: €2.82m in disclosed contract values across a 190-award profile
By William O'Meara · 02 Oct 2026
TenderMatch's latest buyer profile for Iarnród Eireann-Irish Rail records 190 deduplicated awards over the past 12 months. The disclosed contract value total is €2,823,310.74. Separately, the corpus records €40,194,449.21 in estimated value (framework ceiling).
These totals describe different categories of award value. Framework ceilings are not actual expenditure, and disclosed contract values do not establish how much has been paid. Adding the categories together would not produce a spending total.
Which suppliers lead by award count?
Dixon Bros.(Agriculture and Plant) leads the returned supplier ranking with 32 awards. Breffni Group follows with 15. CWS Communications LTD is among the suppliers with 10 awards.
The summary does not disclose a contract value total for these suppliers. Their award counts therefore support a ranking by recorded awards, not a ranking by money received.
Recent awards cover cable supply and plant hire
The recent notices show what some of that procurement involves:
| Award | Supplier | Award date | Recorded value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supply of telecoms copper cable | British Cables Ltd | 01 October 2026 | €88,900 estimated value (framework ceiling) |
| Supply of signalling/power cable | Cleveland Cable Company Limited | 30 September 2026 | €106,200 estimated value (framework ceiling) |
| Civils Plant HP 30-37 tender 4 | Breffni Group | 29 September 2026 | €91,900 estimated value (framework ceiling) |
These examples are included in the buyer's recent award activity; they are not additional amounts to add to the annual profile. Each figure is labelled as a framework ceiling in the corpus, so none should be read as a confirmed payment to the named supplier.
Scope of the figures
This profile uses TenderMatch's rolling 12-month buyer summary and its recent-awards query covering the past 7 days. The recent query returned up to 30 records across buyers; the table is a selection of Irish Rail awards from that result. The annual figures cover awards recorded in the corpus, not an audited account of all Irish Rail procurement or expenditure. Supplier rankings use deduplicated award counts.
