In a previous career, I was well acquainted with corruption in the tendering process for government contracts, loads of industry are in on it

Wan**rs.
Now do tenders for bike sheds and security huts…….
And while we’re at it, can we lock someone up over the National Children’s Hospital?

I would say tender corruption is the worst kept secret in Ireland but I wouldn’t even call it a secret anymore. Everyone is fully aware of it but for the most part we are happy to do nothing about it. We need major reform of tender processes

Not only is this corruption and collusion going on among bidders, it’s also rife with the people who actually put out the tenders.
In many cases I firmly believe they have already decided who they want to win and then go about making the competition as restrictive and difficult as possible for everyone else.
Smaller and less established companies never get a look in. Unless you’re a large, company used to milking the system they don’t want to know about you. Can’t
The number of tenders I’ve been involved in bidding in, that I know we could do a fantastic job on, only to be disqualified for being a young company or not having some arbitrary „experience“ is huge. It’s really disheartening to see the same old useless incumbent continuing to be awarded large tenders, knowing they’ll do a half arsed job and then be able to use the same half arsed job to secure even more work at hugely marked up rates.
Whole system is rotten.
