The Office of Public Works provides for the maintenance of Government Buildings, Hebron Road, Kilkenny through a number of contracts. There are contracts for the provision of a planned and preventative maintenance programme for building services such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, heating and air conditioning, etc, which is a statutory requirement for some of these installations. These contracts are tendered periodically within framework agreements or to lists of specialist contractors, as appropriate. Other maintenance work, both planned and reactive maintenance, may require a variety of contractors and the procurement is on a case by case basis. The procurement process is appropriate to the estimated value of the work meeting the national rules for procurement and Office of Government Procurement Guidance.
