Netherlands – Construction work for buildings relating to leisure, sports, culture, lodging and restaurants – Realisatie nieuwbouw Ontmoetingscentrum Beek en Donk

The existing Meeting Centre at Otterweg 27-29 in Beek en Donk is a facility where cultural, welfare, and sports organisations are jointly housed. The adjacent Kindcentrum De Raagten also uses the sports facilities. The operation of the Meeting Centre has been outsourced to Stichting Dorpshuizen Laarbeek (SDL). The current meeting centre was built in 1985 and has been expanded several times over the years. The municipality of Laarbeek wants to demolish the current meeting centre in Beek en Donk and realise a new building on the same location. The new meeting centre must become the bustling social heart of the village: a multifunctional facility where spaces are rented by associations and organisations as needed. A place that is freely accessible to everyone, including young and old, and operated by a professional organisation. For this purpose, a non-open European procurement procedure will be conducted in 2025 to select a design team that will draw up an integral design to realise a new meeting centre on the current location. This design team is currently developing the design into a STABU bill of quantities with accompanying drawings to the level of a Technical Design. This level is described in the STB of the BNA and NL engineers as a design that is technically so detailed and specified that a definitive price formation for the execution can take place on this basis. Drawings will be available with definitive layouts, elevations, and room and building part specifications, dimensions and details. A bill of quantities according to the STABU system has been added as a technical specification. The technical design consisting of the STABU bill of quantities and accompanying drawings will hereinafter be referred to as the ‘bill of quantities’. This technical description for the execution of the agreement will be shared with the selected candidates in the tendering phase. During the design phase of the project, the council is continuously informed and involved in the progress of the project. The technical design with accompanying cost estimate will be presented to the council in the November 2026 council meeting so that it can definitively decide whether to make the required budget available. In the event of a negative decision by the council, the client reserves the right to terminate the tendering of this contract at this point. To give you an idea of the assignment in this phase, the DO design book has been added as annex 3 to the selection guide. This annex is for information only and no rights can be derived from it since the design is still in development.
