The National Development Finance Agency (NDFA) and Courts Service in partnership with Enterprise Ireland are running a series of Meet the Buyer information and networking events connecting local suppliers to opportunities in the construction sector as part of the €135m Courts Bundle PPP Project.
On June 12th 2015, BAM PPP PGGM was appointed as the preferred tenderer. The series of Meet the Buyer events takes place on the following dates:
Letterkenny – Coláiste Ailigh 5pm – 8pm – 12th October 2015
Navan – Ardboyne Hotel 9am-12pm – 13th October 2015
Cork – Clayton Silver Springs 9am-12pm – 14th October 2015
Tramore – Ard Scoil na Mara 5.30pm – 8.30pm – 15th October 2015
All events are free and open to construction suppliers and enterprises in a wide variety of supply categories. Facilities Management subcontractors with expertise in areas such as planned preventative maintenance and cleaning services are also invited to participate.  Attendees will learn more about the 7 courthouses that will be built under this initiative and have an opportunity to meet with BAM who are the preferred tenderer.  Attendees will also find out how to become a sub supplier through a series of short “pitch” meetings.
There will also be an Enterprise Support zone at the event, where attendees can get information on business supports through the Local Enterprise Office network and Enterprise Ireland. The Department of Social Protection will provide delegates with information on the Pathways to Work initiative (including the Jobs Ireland Services) and check eligibility for the JobsPlus scheme. In addition, the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland will be in attendance.
The 7 courthouses will be built across 7 sites in 7 counties in locations across Ireland. Full details of the programme can be found on http://www.ndfa.ie/project/courts-ppp-programme/
It is anticipated that these building projects will be delivered as part of a single Public Private Partnership (PPP) contract, with construction commencing in late 2015.
The NDFA is responsible for delivering €650m of Public Private Partnership projects as part of the €2.5bn Infrastructure Stimulus Programme announced by the Irish Government in July 2012. This strategic courts project will deliver in the region of 1,750 construction jobs.
Commenting on BAM’s ‘Meet the Buyer’ events Theo Cullinane, CEO BAM Ireland said: “BAM is very pleased to have been appointed the preferred tenderer for the €135m Courts Bundle PPP which will deliver another multi regional social infrastructure PPP project in seven counties across Ireland.  Our ‘Meet the Buyer’ events are an ideal way for us to connect with local construction suppliers and subcontractors to identify new business opportunities for them to work with BAM in delivering these projects”.
Julie Sinnamon, CEO, Enterprise Ireland, said: “Enterprise Ireland is committed to widening the access for Irish construction services companies to significant public sector contracts. These ‘Meet the Buyer’ events are a proven element of our strategy and I strongly encourage Irish construction suppliers and enterprises to attend one of the four free events in taking place from the north to the south of the country”.
Gerard Cahillane, Deputy Director of the NDFA, said: “We are always pleased to be involved in these events which are a really practical way for local enterprise and the project tenderer to make connections and take advantage of the opportunities presented by PPPs.  They ensure that SMEs in the communities involved are engaged from the start on these projects, while being an efficient way for the buyer to secure contractors”.
