## Summary Cork City Council is procuring a framework agreement for building surveying services to conduct stock condition surveys of approximately 11,000–12,000 housing units.

## Key Requirements - Eligibility criteria and selection standards are detailed in the procurement documents. - Tenderers must submit tenders for all lots; maximum of 4 lots per tenderer. - Compliance with exclusion grounds specified in the procurement document. - No strategic procurement aims; standard selection criteria apply.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated Value: €2,000,000 (excluding VAT). - Submission Deadline: 23 May 2026 at 16:00 IST. - Contract Duration: 5-year framework agreement. - Framework Type: Framework agreement without reopening of competition.

## Bid Considerations - Suitability: Ideal for established building surveying firms with capacity to handle large-scale residential stock assessments. - Opportunity: Provides access to a significant volume of work (11k-12k units) over a 5-year period. - Risk: The "no reopening of competition" clause limits future pricing flexibility; strict adherence to the initial 2-year performance period is critical. - Constraint: Tenderers cannot submit multiple tenders for the same lot; strategic lot selection is required.
