Donegal County Council_1193

## Summary Donegal County Council, acting on behalf of Donegal Green Lab, is procuring an Integrated Design Team to deliver architectural and engineering services for a new 19,800 sq. ft. facility. The project involves developing enterprise, incubation, laboratory, and collaboration spaces in the Border region of Ireland.

## Scope & Deliverables - Design services for a new three-storey infrastructure project. - Provision of enterprise, incubation, training, laboratory, and collaboration spaces. - Architectural services for buildings, outdoor areas, and building extensions. - Associated site works and parking provision. - Coordination of the integrated design team (architectural, engineering, and planning services).

## Key Requirements - Eligibility: Open procedure; participation is not reserved. - Documentation: European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) required for exclusion and selection criteria. - Funding Context: Procurement is partially financed by EU funds (EFSI/SMART Regions), implying strict compliance with EU procurement directives. - Experience: While specific technical qualifications are not listed in the excerpt, the CPV codes indicate a need for comprehensive architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection service capabilities.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated Value: Not stated (listed as 0 Euro in TED notice). - Submission Deadline: Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 12:00 IST. - Contract Duration: 32 months, starting June 8, 2026. - Framework/DPS: No framework agreement or Dynamic Purchasing System applies.

## How to Bid - Submission Method: Via the Irish eTenders portal (https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/viewTenders.do?resourceId=7881440). - Language: English. - Key Documents: Prepare the ESPD and all required procurement documents as specified in the tender package. - Deadline for Queries: May 22, 2026, at 12:00 IST.

## Bid Considerations - Strategic Fit: Suitable for firms with strong architectural and engineering integration capabilities, particularly those experienced in lab/incubator infrastructure. - EU Funding Implications: The use of EFSI funds may impose additional reporting or sustainability requirements; verify specific SMART Regions criteria. - Value Uncertainty: The "0 Euro" estimated value is a common administrative placeholder in EU notices; do not assume low value—request clarification or review full tender docs for budget caps. - Timeline: The 32-month duration suggests a long-term engagement, requiring significant resource allocation for the design phase.
