The Contracting Authority is conducting a procurement process divided into two lots: 1. Lot 1 – The New Urban Centre at Navan Central 2.

Tenderers may submit tenders for one lot or both lots. However, the Contracting Authority intends to appoint a single economic operator to both lots in order to ensure continuity of service delivery and effective coordination between consultancy services. Tenders shall be evaluated on a lot-by-lot basis in accordance with the award criteria set out in this Request for Tender. Following completion of the evaluation process, the Contracting Authority shall determine the tenderer that represents the Most Economically Advantageous Tender having regard to the combined requirements of Lots 1 and 2. The maximum number of lots that may be awarded to a tenderer is two and the minimum number of lots that may be awarded to the successful tenderer is also two. Accordingly, where a tenderer is selected for appointment to the framework, that tenderer shall be appointed to both Lot 1 and Lot 2. The Contracting Authority does not intend to appoint different economic operators to the individual lots and reserves the right not to establish the framework where this objective cannot be achieved. A single framework agreement shall be executed with the successful tenderer, incorporating both Lot 1 and Lot 2. Any call-off contracts awarded under the framework shall specify the services required under the relevant lot or lots.
