Wicklow County Council

## Summary Wicklow County Council is procuring a Senior Building Surveyor-led design team to conduct a building condition survey, energy audit, and remediation design for the Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray. The project aims to assess defects, improve accessibility and safety, and prepare documentation for future construction works.

## Scope & Deliverables - Provide a multidisciplinary design team including Structural/Civil Engineer, Fire Safety Engineer, PSDP, Disability Access Consultant, and Commercial Energy Auditor. - Assess current building condition, performance, defects, risks, and compliance issues. - Develop a coordinated, prioritized remediation strategy to enhance accessibility, safety, and energy performance. - Prepare design and tender documentation to enable the delivery of required remediation works.

## Key Requirements - Lead role must be held by a Senior Building Surveyor. - Team must include specialists in structural engineering, fire safety, disability access, and commercial energy auditing. - Compliance with relevant Irish building regulations and accessibility standards. - Ability to produce comprehensive design and tender documentation.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated value: €50,000 (excluding VAT). - Submission deadline: Fri Jun 05 00:00:00 IST 2026. - Contract duration: 12 Months. - Framework/DPS: No framework agreement; Open procedure.

## How to Bid - Submission method: Via the eTenders portal at https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/viewTenders.do?resourceId=8037686. - Language: English. - Key documents: Lump sum tender price covering all related fees and charges; compliance with grounds for exclusion as per the Procurement Document.

## Bid Considerations - Suitability: Ideal for established multidisciplinary design consultancies with strong building surveying and energy auditing capabilities. - Opportunity: Low-value contract with a clear scope allows for efficient resource allocation and potential entry into Wicklow County Council’s supplier list. - Risk: The lump-sum pricing model requires accurate initial scoping to avoid margin erosion if defect discovery exceeds expectations. - Timeline: The submission window is approximately five weeks from publication, requiring prompt mobilization of specialist resources.
