Network+Getwork

The Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Dublin Chamber of Commerce have joined forces to bring you a forum aimed at introducing companies to procurement decision makers in a number of large organisations throughout the island as part of the InterTradeIreland Network+Getwork programme. This event will focus on the procurement strategy of Irelands Health Service Executive. Companies attending will have the opportunity of a 15 minute 1:1 meeting with the relevant senior procurement personnel and speed networking with attending companies. For more information go to www.networkandgetwork.com

In addition to the usual Network+Getwork support, the first 20 successful applicants will secure an additional mentoring service both before and after the main event from InterTradeIreland's Go Tender programme, delivered by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. This mentoring is being offered at no extra cost and gives an invaluable insight into the public procurement process.

The Health Service Executive

The HSE provides thousands of different services in hospitals and communities across the country. These services range from public health nurses treating older people in the community to caring for children with challenging behaviour; from educating people how to live healthier lives to performing highly complex brain surgery; from planning for major emergencies to controlling the spread of infectious diseases.

The establishment of the HSE represents the beginning of the largest programme of change ever undertaken in the Irish public service. Prior to this, services were delivered through a complex structure of ten regional Health Boards, the Eastern Regional Health Authority and a number of other different agencies and organisations.

The HSE replaces all of these organisations. It is now the single body responsible for ensuring that everybody can access cost effective and consistently high quality health and personal social services. The service will be delivered making best use of resources allocated by Government. The largest employer in the State, the HSE employs more than 65,000 staff in direct employment and a further 35,000 staff are funded by the HSE. The budget of almost €12 billion is the largest of any public sector organisation. HSE Procurement / tender opportunities are advertised on the Governments e-tenders website at www.etenders.gov.ie
