## Summary The Office of Public Works (OPW) is procuring specialized basement piling and excavation works for a new build extension at 6 Harcourt Street, Dublin. This phase supports the redevelopment of the site into a museum and cultural centre for Conradh na Gaeilge.

## Scope & Deliverables - Demolition of the rear party wall to No. 7 Harcourt Street (above and below ground). - Backfilling of the basement vault and propping of the rear façade of the Protected Structure. - Installation of a secant wall for basement piling. - Installation of shotcrete lining to the inner face of the piling wall. - Ground excavation to the underside of the proposed basement slab. - Provision of temporary shoring props and associated temporary site works.

## Key Requirements - Eligibility via European Single Procurement Document (ESPD). - Specialized experience in piling, secant wall installation, and working within protected structures. - Capability to manage ground excavation and temporary shoring in a constrained urban environment. - Compliance with Dublin City Council Record of Protected Structures regulations.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated value: Not stated (listed as 1 Euro placeholder). - Submission deadline: Fri Jun 05 12:00:00 IST 2026. - Contract duration: 6 Months. - Tender validity: 180 Days. - Framework/DPS: No framework agreement.

## How to Bid - Submission method: Via the Irish eTenders portal (https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/viewTenders.do?resourceId=7830390). - Language: English. - Key documents: Complete ESPD and technical proposal addressing the specific scope of Phase 3A works.

## Bid Considerations - High Technical Risk: Works involve securing a listed protected structure and adjacent properties, requiring precise engineering and heritage compliance. - Value Ambiguity: The "1 Euro" estimated value is a standard placeholder; bidders must rely on detailed BOQs rather than the stated figure for financial planning. - Niche Expertise: Best suited for contractors with specific experience in Dublin city centre piling and heritage site management. - Competitive Landscape: Open procedure allows any qualified firm to bid, but success depends on demonstrating robust temporary works strategies.
