Please note that the design team is responsible for the project management of all design processes/services. The Office of Regeneration may separately appoint a project manager with responsibility for the implementation of the overall project/programme.
It is intended, provided there are sufficient suitable Applicants, that the eight (8) highest ranked Applicants will be invited to participate in stage two of the tender competition which will comprise the initial โ€˜Call-off Contract' and the Framework Agreement.
Tenders will be evaluated against the award criteria set down in the tender documents and ranked in order to determine the most economically advantageous tender.
The establishment of the Framework Agreement will be on the basis of a competition for an initial โ€˜Call-off Contract' which is yet to be identified and confirmed. The most economically advantageous tender will be awarded the initial โ€˜Call-off Contract' and it is anticipated the top six (6) highest scoring Tenderers will be appointed to the Framework Agreement provided there are a sufficient number of suitable Tenderers available.
The above information on stage 2 is preliminary only and the Office of Regeneration reserves the right to amend the above process at Stage 2. Further information will be provided on stage 2 with the invitation to tender documents.
Subsequent Major Capital Works Projects will (subject to approval) be awarded by mini-competition amongst the Tenderers appointed to the Framework Agreement.
Further information regarding the operation of the Framework Agreement can be found in the Project Information Memorandum (also available to download from www.etenders.gov.ie). To register their interest, applicants are required to complete the Suitability Assessment Questionnaire (available to download from www.etenders.gov.ie).
