Specialist Library Collection Removal Services – University of Galway

University of Galway seeks qualified removal specialists to relocate approximately 400,000 library items from James Hardiman Library to the new Dr Karen Guinee Library on the Galway city campus during 2027. The project involves three scheduled phases with a potential fourth phase during the contract period. Collections include approximately 16,850 linear meters of books, journals, music scores, official publications, DVDs, CDs, and maps currently organized in Dewey Decimal Classification across four floors and both static and mobile shelving units. Archives and rare books are excluded from this move. Successful bidders must demonstrate expertise in handling large-scale library relocations, maintaining proper organization of collections during transit, and managing complex logistics. The service scope covers planning, packing, transportation, and placement of materials in the new facility.
