Multi Operator Framework Agreement for Architectural Services in 3 Lots

Dublin City Council

The Contracting Authority is seeking to establish three framework agreements for the provision of architectural services in connection with a wide variety of projects within the Council's administrative area, including new build and refurbishment projects of housing, civic, community, recreational and public realm natures.
Each framework agreement will be established for a period of one year with possible annual extensions at the discretion of the Contracting Authority up to a maximum of 4 years, subject to satisfactory annual performance and review, budgetary constraints and government policy. For the avoidance of doubt, the period for delivery of any contracts awarded under a framework may extend beyond the date of expiry of that framework agreement.
Framework members will be required to provide architectural design and associated services for stages (i)-(v) of the Capital Works Management Framework or a subset thereof. As part of the service delivery, framework members will be required to provide the following specialist skills:
— Design Team Lead,
— Employer's Representative for works contracts,
— Design Certifier and Assigned Certifier (under the Building Control Amendment Regulations 2014),
— Fire Safety Design, and/or
— Universal/Accessibility Design.
Only those Applicants capable of delivering all of the services listed above (whether in-house or as a grouping/consortium) will be considered. Therefore, applications relation to one or several of these services only are not acceptable and will be rejected.
