Limerick companies have until the end of the month to register for Ryder Cup
Small companies encouraged to tender for chance to service Ryder Cup in Adare
SMALL companies locally have until the end of this month to tender to provide services to next year’s Ryder Cup in Adare Manor.
The organisers of the tournament have identified a number of opportunities for small-to-medium sized enterprises to provide services to the tournament, which will draw more than 65,000 people a day to Adare alone.
Company owners who are interested in supplying products, skilled labour, specialist trades, event support services and plant hire are being invited to register their interest.
This is being done through a portal managed by Local Enterprise Office Limerick, at https://leolimerick.submit.com/show/144
Alternatively, telephone the LEO at 061-557499.
Organisers are interested in hearing from companies which can provide electricians, plumbers, carpenters, joiners, labourers, fitters plus painters and decorators.
They’re also on the look-out for signage installers, carpet fitters, marquee agency crews and local printers.
Anyone providing plant hire, for example forklifts, diesel lifts and telehandlers are also being encouraged to get in contact.
The Local Enterprise Office, which supports 4,000 firms across the region, said: “This is a unique opportunity for local businesses to become part of one of the world's most prestigious sporting events, supporting the delivery of a global event expected to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors and international media attention.”
LEO Limerick has stressed that it is not involved in the tendering process for Ryder Cup 2027.
Rather, it is acting as a bridge, and will share a register of enterprises who have expressed an interest to be considered for opportunities at the huge tournament next year.
The deadline to register with LEO Limerick falls on Monday, November 30.
The event takes place at Adare Manor between September 13 and 19 next year.
It’s expected to see hundreds of thousands of people hit Limerick, with hotels likely to be fully booked.
For this reason, it’s primarily preferred to source contractors from the local area.
