Údarás na Gaeltachta is creating new opportunities for trained contractors to participate in regional multi-party framework agreements that will help local businesses in Gaeltacht areas.

The Údarás is seeking qualified contractors in four sectors:

  • Mechanical works
  • Electrical works
  • Tree services
  • Emergency works

The framework agreements will cover three regions:

  1. The South (Kerry, Cork, Waterford)
  2. The West (Galway, Mayo)
  3. The North (Donegal)

“One of the main objectives of this framework is to keep work within Gaeltacht communities,” said Cian Ó Donnchadha, Ceannasaí Maoine of Údarás na Gaeltachta. “These framework agreements demonstrate our ongoing commitment to supporting local businesses and contractors.”

The framework agreements are divided into lots for each identified work area, which provides opportunities for contractors of different sizes and specialisations across the Gaeltacht regions.
