Boundary
The public workspace states an 18-month public contract with no lots. Estimated value, detailed award subcriteria and eligibility or authorisation requirements are not stated on the opened public workspace and must be checked in the tender documents.
Verified opportunity overview
The Office of Public Works is procuring civil and structural engineering design and Project Supervisor Design Process consultancy for improved access to 22 sluices in the Monaghan Blackwater flood-relief scheme. The opportunity is presented through an open procedure and combines technical access design with design-stage safety coordination.
Current status and key dates
The official eTenders workspace showed a clarification deadline of 7 August 2026 at 15:00, a submission deadline of 17 August 2026 at 15:00 and an opening time of 17 August 2026 at 15:30, all in Europe/Dublin. The stated contract duration is 18 months. Suppliers must recheck the live workspace for later clarifications, amendments or timetable changes.
Scope and deliverables
The confirmed public scope covers civil and structural access design and PSDP consultancy associated with 22 Monaghan Blackwater sluices. The opened workspace supports the flood-relief and access-design context, but it does not expose the detailed survey programme, design stages, drawing schedule, technical outputs, meeting obligations or construction-support tasks. Those details remain controlled by the tender pack.
Lots and contract structure
The opened public workspace showed no lots. ContractLens therefore presents the opportunity as one public contract. This does not rule out internal work stages, disciplines or deliverable packages described inside the procurement documents.
Supplier requirements
The opened public workspace does not expose the detailed eligibility, professional-authorisation, turnover, insurance, reference-project, staffing or technical-capacity thresholds. Firms should not assume that general civil or structural consultancy experience alone establishes eligibility. Every mandatory requirement must be checked in the current tender pack.
Submission and award method
The official eTenders workspace controls the response process. The public view establishes the open procedure and the stated timetable, but it does not expose the complete response schedules, declarations, required attachments, evaluation method, award subcriteria or criterion weights. Those items must be taken directly from the current procurement documents.
Value explanation
No estimated contract value is stated on the opened public workspace. ContractLens does not infer a consultancy fee from the number of sluices, the flood-relief context or comparable engineering appointments. Suppliers should use the official pricing documents and their own cost model.
Amendments and status history
No separate amendment or corrigendum was identified in the public workspace opened for this review. That is not proof that no clarification answer, revised file or document replacement exists. The live workspace should be inspected immediately before relying on the deadline or tender pack.
Supplier relevance
The opportunity may be relevant to civil and structural engineering consultancies, flood-risk and hydraulic-infrastructure specialists, and multidisciplinary teams with demonstrable PSDP capability. This is a supplier-relevance assessment only; ContractLens does not decide whether any firm is eligible or should bid.
Procurement data limitations and missing details
The public workspace does not expose the estimated value, detailed award criteria, eligibility thresholds, professional-authorisation requirements or the full deliverable schedule. These are material supplier checks and remain explicit evidence gaps rather than being filled from customary procurement practice.
Official sources and verification history
