Tenders are sought for the provision of specialist removal services to carry out the move of Library collections between the old and new libraries, both located on the main Galway city campus of the University of Galway. The majority of the Library’s book and journal collection, not including archives and rare books, will be moving from the current James Hardiman Library to the new Dr Karen Guinee Library during 2027, and we are seeking specialist removal services to carry out that move on our behalf. This work will involve three phases during 2027. There is also the potential for a 4th phase during the lifetime of this contract. The collections being moved comprise approximately 400,000 items which are currently shelved in Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) order on 16,850 linear meters of both static and mobile shelving over 4 floors of the James Hardiman Library. The collections being moved include Paperback and hardback monographs Music scores Loose and bound journals Official Publications DVDs and CDs Maps
