The urgent and substantial need for accommodation to respond to the homeless and housing crisis in Dublin renders the standard public procurement timelines impracticable.
1. The estimated contract value for the Works sought in this public procurement competition exceeds the present EU thresholds. Therefore this public procurement competition is subject to the EU public procurement directive (European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/18/EC on the co-ordination of procedures for the award of public works, public supply and public services contracts). In light of the urgent and substantial need for accommodation as explained in Section 1, which renders the standard public procurement timelines impracticable, the ‘Accelerated Restricted Procedure’ is the procedure being used for the carrying out of this competition.
The rules applicable to this public procurement competition are as set out in the Suitability Assessment Questionnaires, as may be refined by the tender documentation to be provided to shortlisted bidders in each project Lot.

If you consider that any of the information supplied by you is either commercially sensitive or confidential in nature, this should be highlighted and the reasons for the sensitivity specified. In such cases, the relevant material, will in response to the FOI request; be examined in the light of the exemptions provided for in the Acts.
