Technical services for waste licensing and remediation/reclamation projects in County Cork

Cork County Council

Cork County Council is engaging in a competitive tendering process for technical services in respect of waste licensing and remediation/reclamation projects in County Cork. The requirements are divided into 2 lots:
โ€” Lot 1: Single-operator framework agreement for multi-disciplinary environmental advisory services in relation to a waste licensing and remediation/reclamation project at Haulbowline Island, Co. Cork, and
โ€” Lot 2: Multi-operator framework agreement for multi-disciplinary environmental consultancy and design services.
Interested parties may apply for one or both Lots. The successful economic operator under Lot 1 will be involved in preparing briefs and evaluate proposals submitted by the successful operators under Lot 2. Therefore, in order to avoid any potential conflict of interest, the same economic operator will not be permitted to be admitted to both frameworks. To this end, it is envisaged that a decision on the competition for Lot 1 will made first.
