Two Single Party Framework Agreements relating to Consultancy on Telemetry Services

Fingal County Council (Utilities)

Fingal Co.Co. wishes to establish two single party framework agreements relating to Consultancy for Telemetry Services over a 5 year period.
Lot 1 is for the Strategic Programme Manager (SPM) and will initially cover the development of the strategy for the programme. This consultant is then expected to assist DRTO when requested in the supervision of the work of the consultant for Lot 2. However not all work undertaken by Lot 2 will require supervision.
Lot 2 is for the Programme Management Consultancy (PMC). This team of consultants will undertake the range of tasks to gather detailed requirements, consider options for and recommend the design of the component systems for the service, take the leading technical role in the procurements of the systems and manage the implementation of these, and the introduction of the new service.
Note 1: Candidates should note that the framework for Lot 1 will require a single nominated expert to be assigned for the duration of the framework to ensure consistency and continuity of service.
Note 2: The scope of services under these frameworks may include performance of services on behalf of Irish Water irrespective of whether the frameworks / contracts under the frameworks novate to Irish Water.
Note 3: The scope of work envisaged under these frameworks is not defined by any particular geographical or political boundary or local authority function within the Republic of Ireland and may cover all telemetry related to the monitoring and management of water and drainage networks and water courses.
Note 4: Where contracts under the frameworks are awarded by the Local Authorities candidates should note the role that CMOD would have in the approval process for such contracts and the obligation to have external Peer Review and the compliance with that requirement.
Note 5: In the unlikely event of permanent unavailability of a service provider for lot 1 during the tender validity period the 2nd ranked tenderer in the framework competition will be consulted regarding the award of the framework on the basis of an award runner up process. Short-term requirements (not greater than 1 month) which arise at any time during the framework will be sourced from the lot 2 service provider as will permanent requirements which arise after the expiry of the tender validity period.
