## Scope & Deliverables - Architectural design services - Civil engineering consultancy - Quantity surveying services - Health and safety consultancy - Landscape architectural services - Fire and explosion protection consultancy

## Key Requirements - Eligibility and selection criteria are detailed in the procurement documents. - Tenderers must submit tenders for all lots; participation is not reserved. - Compliance with the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) is required. - Specific professional qualifications and experience requirements are defined in the tender dossier.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated total value: €7,000,000 (excluding VAT) - Lot 1 (Architectural Services) estimated value: €2,100,000 - Contract duration: 4 years - Submission deadline: Thu Jun 04 12:00:00 IST 2026 - Framework/DPS: Multi-Lot Framework Agreement

## How to Bid - Submission method: Via the Irish eTenders portal (https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/viewTenders.do?resourceId=7992241) - Language: English - Key documents: Complete procurement documents available at https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/listContractDocuments.do?resourceId=7992241 - Deadline for additional information requests: 20/05/2026 14:00

## Bid Considerations - Suitability: Ideal for established architectural and engineering consultancies with capacity to handle multiple service lines. - Opportunity: Provides access to a significant public sector client (University of Limerick) for a stable four-year period. - Risk: The "cascade award method" and requirement to bid on all lots may increase administrative burden and cost for firms lacking full-service capabilities. - Competition: As an open procedure covered by GPA, expect strong international and domestic competition.
