Description of the Project

The project will comprise:

The Brief for the project is to design and procure additional accommodation for the school as set out in the Schedule of Accommodation in Appendix A of the Brief document. Except where the accommodation to be provided is for Special Needs, the accommodation is to be designed as a standalone extension. Where possible the extension should be located in a way that will facilitate a future enclosed link to the existing building. It is noted that where the post-primary school might need further expansion, then the masterplan shall facilitate any possible future expansion in the form of a two-storey extension given the restricted nature of the site. As the SEN Base will be single-storey, the design and construction shall allow for any possible future expansion in this way. Therefore, the roof to the SEN Base shall be a flat concrete slab and membrane cover. The superstructure and substructure design and construction shall support this future strategy by incorporating any necessary modifications as current redundant structure. In the case of Special Needs Accommodation, the design should provide for enclosed linkage to the main circulation in the existing building. The accommodation for pupils with Special Educational needs (SEN) should be located and designed in accordance with the requirements of TGD 026, and its addendums. Where room for expansion is severely limited a multi-storey option must be considered.

The above description is indicative of the size and nature of the project but the extent of accommodation to be provided may increase or decrease.  Additional accommodation may be added to the brief including the provision of an additional school (on the same site or sites) at the discretion of the Contracting Authority.

Any additional accommodation added at the discretion of the Contracting Authority is subject to the restrictions as set out in Article 72 of Directive 2014/24/EU (Regulation 72, European Union (Award of Public Authority Contracts) Regulations 2016)
