In June 2022 the Arts Council will be launching a new approach to the procurement of artform support services such as Advisory, Assessment and Research services. We will be transitioning to a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) approach that has been designed in response to a rigorous internal consultation and feedback process identifying opportunities for improvement.

Overall this new process seeks to increase accessibility and transparency around how the Arts Council procures these services and ultimately allow for a greater diversity of voices as we work to support and develop the arts in Ireland.

We are hosting an information session on this on June 20^th at 3pm. If you would like to attend please register by emailing ArtsDPS@artscouncil.ie.

This will be available to view on eTenders during June and more information can be found here.
