DKIT - procurement of a student centre
Dundalk Institute of Technology invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and competent parties in relation to the following:
Dundalk institute of technology wishes to develop a student centre facility of circa. 4 000 square metres minimum to cater for the needs of a student body nearing 6 500 full and part-time students.
The facility provided should include a main indoor sports hall (capable of providing for 2 tennis/basketball courts with bleacher seating facilities), a second smaller sports hall (capable of incorporating 2 badminton courts with bleacher seating), gymnasium facilities, sports equipment stores, treatment rooms, shower and changing facilities, a suite of meeting and seminar rooms for student club and society activities and support areas including toilets, offices, reception, ICT network area, plant rooms, locker areas, janitorial stores, etc.
The institute also proposes to relocate the existing student club bar to the new facility and a coffee shop would also be desirable as well as any other student support services or facilities that participants in the dialogue process may wish the institute to consider either as elements of, or proximate to, the facilities proposed.
It is emphasised that the facility will have to be located on or close to the main campus to facilitate convenient access by all students on an occasional and block access basis. Moreover, it is envisaged that the facility will have its own car parking facilities and other associated support services infrastructure.
To provide the described student centre, the institute now wishes to explore private sector options that include the delivery of the facility described either on operator’s lands at an accessible remove from the campus or on a site that the institute can provide on the campus. In this regard, the options that the institute wishes to consider include a design, build, finance, operate and maintain (DBFOM) solution, or any viable combination thereof, and a full turnkey package which will include full fit-out including all furniture and equipment. However, it should be noted that the competitive dialogue (CD) procurement procedure now being initiated is intended to identify the full range of possible solutions that could meet the institute’s needs.
Those participants who offer solutions deemed to meet the institute’s requirements will be the subject of formal tender invitations following the termination of the competitive dialogue procedure itself.
