Sligo County Council

## Summary Sligo County Council is procuring the construction of two water sports activity buildings in Enniscrone and Rosses Point, Co. Sligo. The project involves erecting multi-functional leisure facilities with bespoke finishes under the Failte Ireland Platforms for Growth programme.

## Scope & Deliverables - Construction of two separate water sports activity buildings. - Internal fit-out including showers, toilets, accessible facilities, changing places, storage, and plant rooms. - External works including induction/meeting areas, external showers, seating, and landscaping. - Connections to all necessary services and associated site works. - Contemporary designs with bespoke finishes as specified by Failte Ireland.

## Key Requirements - Eligibility: Open procedure; no reserved participation. - Qualifications: Specific selection criteria are detailed in the Procurement Document. - Experience: Relevant building construction experience required (CPV 45210000). - Financial Standing: Standard economic and financial standing requirements apply per the procurement documents.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated Value: €2,000,000 (excluding VAT). - Submission Deadline: 22 May 2026 at 12:00 (IST). - Contract Duration: 12 Months. - Framework/DPS: No framework agreement or Dynamic Purchasing System. - Tender Validity: 180 Days.

## How to Bid - Submission Method: Electronic submission via eTenders Ireland is mandatory. - Languages: English. - Key Documents: Download procurement documents from the eTenders portal. - Additional Info: Requests for information must be submitted by 15 May 2026. - Opening: Public opening of tenders on 22 May 2026 at 12:30 (IST).

## Bid Considerations - EU Funding: The project is partially financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), which may influence compliance and reporting requirements. - Specialized Design: The requirement for "visually striking" bespoke finishes aligned with Failte Ireland standards demands specific architectural and construction expertise. - Geographic Scope: Works are located in two distinct coastal sites in Co. Sligo, requiring logistical planning for dual-site execution. - Risk: The 12-month duration for two complete builds is aggressive; bidders must carefully assess site conditions and supply chain risks.
