contents Let $G$ be a second countable locally compact groupoid equipped with a Haar system $λ$.In this work, we introduce and develop the notion of amenability for continuous unitary representations of $G$, formulated in terms of Hilbert bundles over the unit space $G^{0}$. We prove that $G$ is amenable if and only if its left regular representation is amenable, thereby extending Bekka's characterisation of amenable unitary representations from groups to groupoids. We further investigate the amenability of induced representations of $G$ and also study the representation of properly amenable groupoids. Finally, we define a topological invariant mean associated with a representation, constructed by utilising the theory of operator-valued vector measures on the unit space $G^{0}$, to characterise amenability.
