Details

Atlantic Technological University (ATU) is seeking suitably qualified and experienced contractors to undertake an energy retrofit project at its Galway City Dublin Road Campus. The project comprises the retrofit of approximately 4,425m² of the original 1972 building and forms part of the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) funded Energy Efficiency and Decarbonisation Pathfinder Project (EEDPP2). The works include building fabric upgrades, roof and window replacement, ventilation improvements, lighting and controls upgrades, and the installation of a medium-temperature air-source heat pump, with existing gas boilers retained for peak demand and backup. The project aims to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, extend the building's operational life, enhance occupant comfort, increase the use of renewable technologies, and achieve a minimum B1 BER rating. The existing building is a reinforced concrete framed structure currently served by the campus central heating system and a combination of natural and mechanical ventilation systems.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this construction & infrastructure opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
