Bidvest Noonan has extended its long-term partnership with University College Dublin (UCD), one of Europe’s leading research-intensive universities and home to Ireland’s largest university campus. With over 38,000 students, UCD is a world-class academic institution, and Bidvest Noonan will continue to ensure the campus remains clean, safe, and sustainable under a new multi-year contract.
The company will continue to provide core cleaning and outdoor grounds cleaning services, supported by innovative technologies such as robotic cleaning machines and sustainable water-saving systems.
With extensive experience in the higher education sector, Bidvest Noonan has a strong track record of delivering exceptional results across large and complex academic environments. Its highly skilled team supports UCD’s Belfield campus, a 330-hectare estate that combines academic buildings, advanced research facilities, expansive green spaces, and cultural areas. This work ensures the smooth operation of teaching environments, specialised laboratories such as the National Virus Reference Laboratory, and major events including graduation ceremonies and conferences.
David Barker, Chief Growth Officer at Bidvest Noonan, said: “I am delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with UCD. This university is the largest of its kind in the country and is a leading academic institution with a fantastic reputation for excellence. We look forward to continuing our support for UCD’s mission to deliver a world-class campus experience while exceeding its sustainability objectives.”
Lorraine Monaghan, Director of Operations, Education, at Bidvest Noonan, added: “Continuing our partnership with UCD makes us incredibly proud. It reflects the trust we’ve built together and the remarkable contribution of our team. With innovation and sustainability at the heart of our work, we’ll keep raising the bar to provide the best possible campus experience for students, staff and visitors.”
