A €7.9 million, 15-month construction contract will deliver a phased two-storey extension to the Drogheda Institute of Further Education, including services, drainage, landscaping and siteworks.
LOUTH MEATH EDUCATION TRAINING BOARD is procuring a new multi-purpose tertiary education building extension at the Drogheda Institute of Further Education. The project is structured as a single works contract, with delivery divided into two construction phases and an estimated total value of €7,900,000.00.
The opportunity combines a defined education-building scope with a 15-month delivery period and an open procedure. The available competitive history is limited to two similar awards, so bidders will need to qualify the project primarily against the published scope, programme and their own delivery capacity.

Contexte d'autorité et d'approvisionnement
The buyer profile records nine contract awards worth €17M and six renewals worth €10M across the authority’s wider procurement activity. Within the comparable category, it identifies two similar contract awards worth €9M and two similar renewals worth €8.6M. No open tenders or prior notices are listed for the comparable category.
The wider market is considerably larger. The available data identifies 753 other buyers with similar projects representing €13B in opportunity value. That broader market indicates an established public-sector construction category, while the authority-specific comparable history remains small.
Only the current contract notice is listed in the related notices section. No prior information notice or corrigendum is identified.
Paysage concurrentiel
The comparable contractor table contains two suppliers. C J CALLAN CONSTRUCTION is listed with one contract worth €9M and an average value of €9M. SEMPLE AND MCKILLOP 50796 is listed with one contract worth €48K and an average value of €48K.
The country analysis attributes €9.1M across two comparable contracts to Ireland, with a displayed average of €4.5M. Both named suppliers appear against one contract, so the visible history does not show a repeat winner. It does, however, show a substantial difference in recorded contract scale between the two results.
The current €7.9M estimate is close to the larger visible comparable award. Construction firms should therefore assess whether their turnover, project controls, subcontractor structure and delivery resources are suitable for a contract at this scale rather than relying on the limited number of historical results.
Signaux commerciaux et procéduraux
- Open procedure: interested suppliers can submit directly without a prior shortlisting stage stated in the available information.
- Single-lot delivery: one contractor will be responsible for the complete extension and the associated services, drainage, landscaping and siteworks.
- Phased construction: the project is divided into two construction phases, so programme logic and coordination between phases will be central to the delivery approach.
- 15-month term: bidders need a programme that accommodates the complete construction scope within the stated contract period.
- 31-day submission window: the period from publication on 17 July 2026 to the deadline on 17 August 2026 is 31 calendar days.
- English-language submission: all tender content and supporting evidence must be prepared in English.
- Award methodology: criteria and weightings are not stated, so bidders should retrieve the full evaluation model before finalising the response.
- No EU funding: the opportunity is listed as not financed with EU funds.
Contexte stratégique et interprétation
The commercial proposition is straightforward: a single contractor must deliver a defined education-building extension, but the phased construction model increases the importance of sequencing, interfaces and site coordination. The scope covers more than the primary structure, with services, drainage, landscaping and siteworks included in the same contract.
The limited authority-specific competitive record should not be treated as a complete picture of likely competition. The open procedure and the €7.9M value can attract established education and public-building contractors beyond the two suppliers visible in the comparable data. Bid teams should use the historical results as context, not as a prediction of the final field.
