As part of its ongoing commitment to school improvement and to best practice, the Board of Management of Scoil Mhuire is pleased to announce that the tender process for onsite early years provision and school age childcare will open this week. This process has been initiated by the Board of Management in order to ensure that the school complies with the revised Department of Education and Skills (DES) procedures for the use of school buildings, which were introduced in June 2024. This process will be conducted in strict accordance with public procurement guidelines to ensure fairness, transparency, and equal treatment for all applicants. The process is open to all and any services who wish to tender, including current service providers.

In accordance with procedures, any attempts to influence the decision-making process, including contacting decision-makers in support of any specific candidate, are considered canvassing,  and are strictly prohibited. Efforts to lobby or contact on behalf of a particular candidate will result in that candidate being excluded from the tender process.

The Board of Management will uphold the integrity of this process and adhere to all guidelines.
