Procurement and Project Management
In 2005 the Sligo Local Authorities put in place a Procurement and Project Management Team to assist in the procurement of services and projects on behalf of Sligo Local Authorities.
The team endeavours to develop best practice in the procurement function, to harness for the benefit of the Authorities modern innovative procurement processes and opportunities and to oversee the project management of specific capital works in both Sligo city and county.
The team has been involved in furthering Housing PPP (Public Private Partnership) projects in Carney and Bellanode.
The Carney Housing PPP project commenced in 2005 when Expressions of Interest were sought from developers for inclusion on a select tender list. A Public Consultation took place in November to encourage the involvement of those interested in the development of the 5.3 acres of County Council owned land. It is anticipated that construction of the development of a mix of social, affordable and private housing and possibly small scale commercial development and community facilities will commence in late 2006.
Investigations into the development of a 37 acre site at Bellanode through a PPP process are ongoing. Consultants were appointed in 2005 to undertake a feasibility study. It is anticipated that the scheme will comprise mixed tenure housing and community facilities.
The project team continued to progress the development of the Riverside One Stop Shop, the development of a cultural precinct at the Mall/Connaughton Road, the development of a new museum/library and the extension of the Model Arts and Niland Gallery. In 2005 the office were also involved with Waterpoint in the development of phase II, the completion of the Sligo Courthouse project and, in an advisory capacity, assisting in the provision of a new parking management system in Sligo City.
