Irish Rail awards: €3,143,632.34 in disclosed contract value across a 12-month profile

Irish Rail's award records show €3,143,632.34 in disclosed contract value and €37,308,085.21 in aggregate estimated value (framework ceiling) over the past 12 months. TenderMatch's buyer summary records 158 awards for Iarnród Eireann-Irish Rail in that period.

These figures measure different things. The framework figure is a total of recorded ceilings, not money spent or guaranteed orders. The disclosed contract total records award values, not payments. Adding the figures together would not produce a spending total.

Which suppliers appear most often?

Dixon Bros.(Agriculture and Plant) leads the returned supplier ranking with 21 awards. Breffni Group and SAF Building and Civil Engineering Ltd each have 10. CWS Communications LTD and S. Duffy Plant Hire Ltd each have 7.

These are award counts, not rankings by money received. The summary provides no disclosed contract total for those suppliers; that absence should not be read as zero.

A recent panel-relaying award

The panel-relaying plant hire award to Breffni Group is dated 11 September 2026 and carries €889,930 estimated value (framework ceiling). The notice title identifies it as “9596-12 Panel Relaying Plant hire Contract 1 2026/27”.

The detail record does not provide a bid count or award criteria. Its description refers readers to the scope of job document, so the available record does not support a fuller account of the equipment or work required. Breffni Group's supplier page links the award to the supplier's wider record.

What the figures cover

This profile uses TenderMatch's deduplicated buyer award summary for the past 12 months, supported by the recent-awards feed and the individual Breffni award detail retrieved for this report. It describes the records returned by those queries, rather than Irish Rail's complete accounts. Framework ceilings remain separate from disclosed contract values throughout.
