Description of the procurement

Kildare County Council, as the Contracting Authority proposes to establish and operate multi-party Framework Agreements for Architect Lead Design Team Services in Two Lots to provide consultancy services in connection with a variety of projects throughout County Kildare. Applicants may apply for one or both Lots.
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 two 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 two 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 €2m. 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.
