Description

BHC requires a range of construction consultancy services for various development and port related projects within the Belfast Harbour Estate and to meet this requirement, intends to procure a number of framework agreements for the provision of such services. The required consultancy services have been split into the following Lots: • Lot 1: Civil and Structural Engineer; • Lot 2: Mechanical and Electrical Engineer; • Lot 3: Architect; • Lot 4: Project Manager/ Quantity Surveyor; • Lot 5: Planning; and • Lot 6: Environmental. BHC intends to conduct this tender process by following the procedures laid down in the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (as amended). Interested parties should note however that not all of the services that may be required under any framework agreements awarded will relate to BHC's port activities. Further information is available in the PQQ. It is currently anticipated that any framework agreement awarded will commence around December 2024 and continue thereafter (subject to any earlier termination in accordance with its terms) for an initial period of four (4) years. Following expiry of the initial period, BHC may, acting at its discretion and subject to the terms of the framework agreement, extend the framework agreement on up to 4 occasions for 12 months each time. The framework will therefore have a maximum potential duration of 8 years.
