Additional information

Please refer to the full RFT for this appointment. The Consultant will be required to carry out all duties and responsibilities of Technical Advisor to NSCDA in relation to the Relevant Construction Works as set out in more detail in Section 3 of the RFT. The Consultant will be required, in particular, to monitor and report on the timely and satisfactory completion of the Relevant Construction Works. A minimum qualification requirement for this tender competition is that the Consultant be able to make available a team including but not limited to at least one person within each Core Staff Category listed in Appendix 9 of the RFT for the purposes of providing the Consultant’s Services. The Consultant will use the standard of care which would ordinarily and properly be used by an independent consultant in relation to services comparable in size, scope, complexity and purpose to the Consultant’s Services. The Consultant will agree to act in a thoroughly competent and efficient manner and in the best interests of the NSCDA so as to give to the NSCDA the full and complete benefit of the Consultant’s experience and expertise. The Consultant will carry out any other supervisory functions or duties in respect of the Relevant Construction Works as the NSCDA may specify from time to time. For Clarity, the NSCDA is not in a position to forecast the amount and specific types of Consultant’s Services (eg total hours per professional) that will be required during the term of the Agreement (as described in 1.6 below), or to guarantee that a certain minimum amount of Consultant’s Services will be required in any period. This is because the Sports Bodies will be undertaking the Relevant Construction Works independently in accordance with self-imposed timescales and methods. Specifically, the Sporting Bodies are under no obligation to carry out the Relevant Construction Works and thus the Consultant’s Services will not be required in circumstances where the Relevant Constructions Works do not commence within the term of the Agreement. (ET Ref:489672).
