The location of these proposed projects is expected to be on the Island of Ireland. Typically the scope of work for this framework shall include the design, procurement and installation for the following non-exhaustive list, however tenders should note that the detailed scope and contracting strategy for each project will be determined at the mini-tender stage:
23) fulfilling role of PSCS or Principal Contractor during all or part of the Works, which may include other parties on-site;
Some post construction works/services during the project operational phase may also be included in the framework scope.
This procurement competition is intended to establish a multi-party framework agreement. It is expected that the framework will contain seven (7) suitably qualified service providers. The framework term will compromise of a five (5) year initial term, with the option, at the contracting entity's own discretion, to extend up to a maximum of a further 3 years.
