Multiparty Framework Agreement for Architect Led Third Level Integrated Design Team Services for Educational Facilities at Grangegorman
Dublin 7
As part of the Project Vision for the development of
Grangegorman, Section 3.1.3 of the Grangegorman
Planning Scheme 2012 (adopted by Dublin City
Council) provides for an Academic Hub-Library
Complex/DCC Branch Library; Business Complex
and other Third Level Educational and ancillary
facilities on the site. It is intended that the initial
contract Academic Hub - Library Complex forms part
of this Multi-party Framework Agreement. Subsequent call-off contracts for the other Third Level Educational Facilities may also form part of this framework. The duration of this framework is 7 years but for avoidance of doubt Call-off contracts may extend beyond the life of the framework.
GDA wishes to establish a Multi-Party Framework for Architect Led Integrated Design Team Services for Third Level Education & Ancillary Services at Grangegorman. It is anticipated that the initial contract under the Framework may constitute the Design of an Academic Hub-Library Complex. Additional services required under this multi-party framework agreement relate to the Business Complex and other Third Level Educational and ancillary facilities on the site which will be subject to separate call out contracts.
