Title:
PMC 28082 Enabling Effective Catalogue and Item Knowledge Management and Systemization for the Irish Health Sector
Name of Contracting Authority:
Health Service Executive (HSE)
PMC CA unique ID:
PMC 28082
Status:
Proposal Submission
Description:
The HSE wishes to engage with the market by inviting companies to submit a concise submission describing their capabilities in regard to this requirement, using the Market Consultation document provided. The HSE is undertaking a strategic initiative to strengthen catalogue and item knowledge management capabilities to support procurement, supply chain efficiency, clinical operations, and regulatory compliance across the Irish health sector. Over the past 9 months, item master data within the scope of IFMS expanded from ~80,000 items to over 148,000 items, reflecting a rapidly growing scope of detailed itemisation of goods and services purchased and consumed. Comparable EU health organisations (e.g., NHS Supply Chain) typically maintain catalogues of ~600,000 items supported by product hierarchies, detailed catalogue structures, robust descriptions, characteristics, and control tags (e.g., Sustainability, MDR compliance, latex-free). The market consultation document is preliminary in nature and is being made available on the understanding and on condition that it is to be used solely for the purposes outlined therein. Interested parties should note that this is not a call for competition, and there will be no award of business as a result of this Market Consultation process. The market consultation document does not constitute a representation that any service will in fact be procured, in whole or in part. Nor does it constitute an invitation to treat, an invitation to Tender or an offer to enter into a contract. For full details please see the PMC Document published with the PMC notice on the eTenders website https://www.etenders.gov.ie NOTE: Please note the deadline for submissions is 12:00 noon Thursday 5th February 2026. The time limit indicated on eTenders is to allow communication with interested parties after the deadline for submissions. The Clarification Deadline for this PMC is 12:00 noon Monday 19th January 2026.
