There was only one contractor employed in the development of the pier on the Dingle Harbour development project in 2000 and 2001. Irish Enco Construction Limited was awarded the contract on 2 November 1999 following a tender process.

The amount paid to Irish Enco Construction Limited for the project was £2,759,586.04, €3,503,951.48, including VAT. This figure included the works as specified in the contract documents, carried out per alternative tender proposals, as accepted, and includes payment for a variation to the contract for provision of an extension to the slipway wall at Dingle. A separate payment of £40,500, €51,424.39, was made to Irish Enco Construction Limited for piling works for a separate development involving provision of new pontoons, a PESCA grant assistance project, which was completed in 2000.

Other contractors were employed during the project for environmental monitoring work, for example, Valerie J. Keeley, archaeologists, and Aquatic Services Limited, but these were not involved in the provision of the construction works.
