The contract involves leading design services from Stage (ii)b to Stage (v) for a project comprising ground-floor commercial and upper-floor residential units.

## Scope & Deliverables - Lead consultant role for an integrated design team. - Delivery of architectural, engineering, and quantity surveying services. - Execution of Stage (ii)b through Stage (v) per the Capital Works Management Framework. - Redevelopment of the existing Athea Community Council Building into mixed-use accommodation.

## Key Requirements - Eligibility via European Single Procurement Document (ESPD). - Experience in architectural design and construction management. - Capability to coordinate multidisciplinary engineering services (structural, M&E, civil). - No specific statutory certifications listed in the notice; standard public procurement exclusion grounds apply.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated value: €53,000 (excluding VAT). - Contract duration: 20 months. - Submission deadline: Friday, 5 June 2026, at 14:00 IST. - Tender validity: 180 days. - No framework agreement or Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) applies.

## Bid Considerations - Low Value/High Effort: At €53k, this is a small contract; ensure the cost of preparing a compliant bid does not outweigh potential profit. - Specialist Scope: Requires an architect-led team capable of coordinating complex engineering disciplines, not just architectural design. - Location: Performance is in Mid-West (IE051); local presence or established relationships may offer a competitive advantage. - Risk: The scope includes significant coordination responsibilities (project management, QS, engineering) for a relatively low fee, potentially straining resources.
