Golden National School

## Summary Golden National School is procuring emergency heating and water services upgrades for its campus in Co. Tipperary. The contract involves converting the school’s heating system to LPG and upgrading its domestic hot water infrastructure to ensure operational readiness during the summer holiday period.

## Scope & Deliverables - Heating Upgrade: Full strip-out of redundant oil-fired systems; installation of new condensing gas-fired boilers, flue kits, header pipework, plate heat exchangers, circulation pumps, valves, actuators, pressurisation units, and gas safety systems. - Distribution & Controls: Installation of a new two-pipe heating distribution system, nZEB radiators, and heating controls. - Water Services Upgrade: Isolation and removal of redundant cold water storage tanks; installation of a new sectional cold water storage tank, central DHW Calorifier, and hot water distribution pipework with secondary return. - Ancillary Works: All associated electrical and builder’s works required to support the mechanical installations.

## Key Requirements - Eligibility: Bidders must comply with standard exclusion grounds as detailed in the Procurement Document. - Qualifications: Relevant experience in mechanical engineering installation, specifically central heating and water plumbing works. - Certifications: Compliance with gas safety standards and nZEB (Nearly Zero-Energy Building) specifications for radiators and controls. - Experience: Proven capability in executing emergency refurbishment works within educational facilities.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated Value: €200,000 (excluding VAT). - Submission Deadline: Friday, June 5, 2026, at 14:00 IST. - Contract Duration: 3 Months. - Framework/DPS: No framework agreement or Dynamic Purchasing System applies.

## How to Bid - Submission Method: Electronic submission via the Irish eTenders portal (https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/viewTenders.do?resourceId=8216449). - Language: English. - Key Documents: Prepare the Procurement Document for exclusion grounds and technical specifications; ensure alignment with the accelerated open procedure requirements.

## Bid Considerations - Suitability: Ideal for mechanical contractors with strong plumbing and gas fitting capabilities and experience in the education sector. - Opportunity: The accelerated procedure and emergency nature suggest a streamlined evaluation process, potentially favoring bidders with immediate resource availability. - Risk: The tight 3-month duration and "emergency" classification require robust project management to avoid delays; failure to complete within the holiday window could impact school operations. - Compliance: Strict adherence to the accelerated timeline and specific technical requirements (e.g., LPG conversion, nZEB standards) is critical for bid success.
