What does Avendra International Ireland do?
Avendra International Ireland is a procurement and supply chain partner supporting hospitality, foodservice, healthcare, care and education organisations across Ireland. We help Irish organisations reduce food and non-food purchasing costs, improve supplier value, strengthen compliance and gain greater visibility and control over operational spend, from fresh produce and beverages to facilities management and FF&E.
Who does Avendra International Ireland support?
Avendra International Ireland supports organisations managing food, beverage, non-food and operational procurement across the hospitality, healthcare and education sectors. Our clients include hotels, restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, leisure operators, visitor attractions, golf clubs, care homes, private hospitals, healthcare providers, private schools, early learning and care providers, and further education institutions. Whether you operate a single site or multiple locations, we provide procurement solutions tailored to your sector and organisation.
How does Avendra International Ireland help reduce costs?
Avendra International Ireland helps organisations across Ireland achieve average savings of 5–15% across procurement categories by reviewing current spend, benchmarking supplier pricing, consolidating purchasing through pre-negotiated contracts and identifying savings opportunities across food, non-food and operational categories. Our buying power of $20.5 billion and 5,000+ supplier agreements means clients access better pricing than they could typically negotiate independently.
How does Avendra International Ireland support supplier management?
We help clients work with a network of vetted, trusted suppliers, manage agreed contract pricing, monitor service quality and improve compliance across contracted procurement categories. Our team provides ongoing account support to ensure supplier agreements continue to deliver value, and we help clients address performance issues, manage risk and strengthen supply chain resilience. We also help organisations source products from trusted national and local Irish suppliers to support quality, value and continuity of supply.
How does procurement technology help Avendra clients?
Avendra's Pi eProcurement platform helps clients reduce manual procurement processes, streamline ordering and invoicing workflows, monitor spend in real time and improve visibility across purchasing categories. Pi gives operational and finance teams greater control over supplier spend, supports compliance and frees up time that would otherwise be spent on administrative purchasing tasks.
How does Avendra International Ireland support sustainability goals?
Avendra International Ireland helps organisations make more informed, responsible procurement decisions across supplier selection, product sourcing, food waste reduction, packaging and energy use. We support clients in reducing their environmental impact through sustainable sourcing strategies, working with national and local Irish suppliers where appropriate, and providing access to data and insights that help track and report on sustainability performance across the supply chain.
