    II.1.5)

    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    The Office of Government Procurement intends to establish a national framework

    for full, integrated Design Team Services, led by a consultant architect for the

    purpose of designing and constructing suitable residential accommodation in

    support of the ‘Social Housing Strategy 2020 - Support, Supply and Reform‘.

    In November 2014, the Government launched the ‘Social Housing Strategy 2015-

    2020: Support, Supply and Reform’. The stated vision of the Strategy is that

    every household will have access to secure, good quality housing suited to their

    needs at an affordable price in a sustainable community. The Strategy is based

    on a multi-annual approach to delivery over two phases, with an additional cost to

    the Exchequer over the 6 years at an estimated €3.8bn.

    Phase 1: Target of 18,000 additional housing units and 32,000 HAP/RAS units by

    end of 2017.

    Phase 2: Target of 17,000 additional housing units and 43,000 HAP/RAS units by

    end of 2020.

    The projects to be delivered will include, but are not limited to, the construction of

    new units (houses and/or apartments) to meet the needs of the relevant

    Contracting Authorities.

    The Framework will be divided into 3 Regional Lots. These Regional Lots will be

    further sub-divided into sub-Lots based on the relative complexity and estimated

    construction cost of the individual projects.

    Please see attached document entitled ‘Framework Information Document’ for

    more information.
