Main site or place of performance:  
IPS Estates.
II.2.4)

Description of the procurement

The IPS operates 13 prisons and places of detention located in counties Dublin, Laois, Cork, Limerick, Wicklow, Cavan and Roscommon. The buildings and premises which form the prison estate (the “Prison Estate”) were constructed in some cases in the 1800s and others are of more recent vintage. The IPS Strategy Statement provides for the ongoing development and modernisation of the Prison Estate with the overall primary objective being at a minimum, the elimination of all prisoner accommodation which does not contain integral sanitation facilities i.e. toilet, wash hand basin and ventilation. This will be achieved by the provision of new custom designed prison accommodation or the upgrading of existing facilities and/or a combination of both. Design teams will be procured to assist the IPS in achieving these objectives.
Please refer to the "Outline Project Brief" for more details.
