What is being bought

Published requirement description

The creation of a multi-facility sports hub at The Cloughan, Doagh Road, Ballyclare. This includes:

-The construction of a 3G multi-sports pitch with perimeter fence and floodlights;

-construction of an artificial hockey pitch (on an existing gravel surface) with perimeter fence and floodlight refurbishment;

-the upgrade of the existing cricket square, outfield, and associated equipment(covers, sightscreens, etc.);

-and the improvement of grass rugby pitches including drainage and floodlighting.

In additional, all landscaping, infrastructure, planning and design works associated with the above works are included in the scope of work. The works are expected to be completed in a phased manner, so the management of construction within an active sports hub is vital.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

This procurement is governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 which provides for economic operators who have suffered, or who risk suffering, loss, or damage, as a consequence of an alleged breach of the duty owed in accordance with Regulation 91 to start proceedings in the High Court.

A standstill period will commence at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide information on the award decision. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into.

Any proceedings relating to any perceived non-compliance with the relevant law must be started within 30 days, beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew, or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen.
