Fire Engineering Services Only Applicants capable of providing all of the above disciplines and associated specialist expertise, whether in-house, through subcontractors or as part of a grouping/consortium, will be considered. This competition will be conducted using a restricted procedure. At Stage 1, Applicants will be assessed against the suitability and selection criteria set out in the Suitability Assessment Questionnaire. It is intended that the five highest-scoring Applicants, subject to a sufficient number meeting all minimum requirements and rules for selection, will be invited to participate in Stage 2. At Stage 2, shortlisted Applicants will be issued with the Invitation to Tender and associated tender documentation. Tenders will be evaluated in accordance with the award criteria and weightings set out in the Invitation to Tender. The highest-ranked compliant Tenderer will be appointed to the Single-Party Framework Agreement and will also be awarded the Initial Contract. The Initial Contract will relate to the further development and delivery of public realm and associated projects in Clonmel. Clonmel Town Centre requires a significant streetscape and public realm upgrade. A design previously received Part VIII approval; however, the design now requires further development, amendment and coordination to reflect the current project scope and available funding and to bring the project through detailed design, tender, construction and handover stages. Tipperary County Council has also acquired a protected structure for which design development and a Part VIII planning process will be required. The Architect-Led Design Team may therefore be required to deliver a combination of public realm, landscape, civil engineering and building upgrade works, including works to protected and heritage structures. The Architect will act as Lead Consultant and will be responsible for coordinating and managing the full multi-disciplinary design team, programme, cost and delivery of the projects. During the construction stage, the Design Team will be required to provide ongoing technical support, respond to queries arising on site and advise on proposed variations and other matters affecting the delivery of the works. Projects arising under the Framework Agreement are anticipated to be funded, in whole or in part, through the Towns and Cities Regeneration Investment Fund (TCRIF) and/or other available funding programmes. Please note that an ITT is not required for this stage of the tender process.
