Scope of the procurement
Estimated total value: 5 000 000 EUR 💰
Title of the lot: Architect Lead Design Team Service for Construction Contracts in Excess of 2 000 000
Lot number: 1
Short description:

Kildare County Council as a local authority procures, operates and maintains a variety of building types. The purpose for establishing a framework agreement for architect lead design team services is to provide a single point of contact for the provision of construction related professional services to the Local Authority. It is proposed that the framework agreement will be established in 2 lots:

Lot 1:

The range of projects which will fall under the framework agreement for Lot 1 fall into but is not limited to the following 2 main categories:

1) The construction of or major alterations to library’s, art’s/heritage centres, fire stations, Council offices, community centres and other building in the control or ownership of Kildare County Council or entities established by Kildare County Council;

2) The construction of new or major refurbishment to existing multi-unit social housing and apartment schemes. This may also include the provision of consultancy services for rapid delivery, joint venture and other forms of non-traditional housing delivery.

Typically the value of construction contracts in Lot 1 will exceed 2 000 000 EUR. It should be noted that, given the historic nature of some structures in the control or ownership of Kildare County Council it is a requirement that a Conservation Architect accredited at RIAI Grade 1 or equivalent is part of the design team for Lot 1. In order to be admitted to the framework agreement for Lot 1 the architectural practice identified as the design team lead does not need to be accredited at Grade 1 but will need to have the services of a Grade 1 accredited conservation architect available to them. Not all projects in Lot 1 will require the services of a Grade 1 conservation architect.

Estimated value excluding VAT: 5 000 000 EUR 💰
