Establishment of a single-party framework agreement for integrated design team services for the Redevelopment of Curragh Racecourse

Curragh Racecourse Ltd

The Contracting Authority recently conducted a design competition for the redevelopment of Curragh Racecourse and is currently in the process, independently of this award procedure, of appointing a lead Architect for the implementation of the winning master-plan design.
The purpose of this particular competition is the establishment of a single-party framework agreement for integrated design team services for the redevelopment of Curragh Racecourse. The framework agreement will be established with a single economic operator comprising the following disciplines:
(a) Civil & Structural Engineering Services;
(b) Quantity Surveying Services;
(c) Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Services;
(d) Fire Safety Consultancy, and;
(e) Project Supervisor for the Design Process.
Only those Applicants capable of delivering all of the services listed above without exception (whether in-house or as a grouping/consortium) will be considered. Therefore, applications relating to one or several of these disciplines only are not acceptable and will be rejected outright.
Applicants will be required to nominate a Lead Party who will have a single point of contractual responsibility, with the remaining disciplines providing collateral warranties for the benefit of the Contracting Authority.
The single-party framework agreement will be established on foot of an initial contract over 3 years for the implementation of the winning master-plan design (including preliminary design, detailed design, planning application, procurement of works contractor, works supervision and handover of works). Shortly after its award, it is possible that the initial contract may be novated to the lead Architect and this will be confirmed at the Invitation to Tender stage.
