Single-Party Framework Agreement for integrated design team services for the development of the Institute of Technology Tallaght Campus
The Contracting Authority is seeking to establish a single-party framework agreement for integrated design team services for the development of its campus. The framework agreement will be established with a single economic operator comprising the following disciplines: (a) Project Management Services, (b) Architectural Services (c) Civil & Structural Engineering Services, (d) Quantity Surveying Services, (e) Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Services and (f) 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.

The maximum estimated value of services over the lifetime of the framework is anticipated to be in the region of €4 million (ex. VAT).
