Technical requirements: Multi Party Framework Agreement for Construction Contracts with an Estimated value Below EUR 5 000 000
Irish Prison Service wishes to establish a multi party framework agreement for the design and construction of works and projects including refurbishment and related works within the Prisons Estate with an estimated value below EUR 5 000 000.
The Irish Prison Service operates 14 prisons and places of detention located in counties Dublin, Laois, Cork, Limerick, Wicklow, Cavan and Roscommon, as detailed further below. 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.
Irish Prison Service wishes to establish a multi party framework agreement (‘Framework’) for the design and construction of works and projects including refurbishment and related works within the Prisons Estate with an estimated value below EUR 5 000 000.
The duration of the framework will be three (3) years with an option to extend for a further one (1) year up to a maximum duration of four (4) years. For the avoidance of doubt, the period for delivery of any contracts awarded under the framework may extend beyond the date of expiry of the framework.
