    Brief

    The University of Galway Library seeks qualified service providers to conduct comprehensive valuation services for its extensive collections. The library holds approximately 50 collections of rare books totaling 67,000 volumes and 296 archival collections that require professional assessment. The valuation project will be executed in three distinct stages: Stage 1 involves collection-level valuation to assess entire collections; Stage 2 requires detailed item-level valuation of individual materials; Stage 3 provides ongoing annual valuation catch-up services to maintain current assessments. Qualified bidders should have demonstrated expertise in rare book and archives valuation, experience with large institutional collections, and the capacity to manage multi-stage projects. This tender is open to suppliers capable of delivering professional, detailed valuations that support the University's collection management and institutional planning objectives.
