What is being bought

Published requirement description

Tenders are invited from suitably qualified Consultancy firms for the Design and Project

Management of the refurbishment of the clubhouse building at City of Armagh Rugby

Club, situated at Palace Grounds, Friary Rd, Armagh BT60 4EN. Professional Services

RIBA 4-7 for the proposed single-story extension comprising of new Changing, Showering

facilities and Physio room. Refurbishment of existing shower areas to provide enhanced

male and female changing and shower facilities. City of Armagh Rugby Football Club in

(CARFC) was founded in 1875 and since 1977 have been located at their current site on

the Friary Road in Armagh. The clubhouse and grounds have been extensively used

during this period, not just by rugby club members and visiting rugby clubs but also by the

local community and local sporting clubs. Part of the current facilities (approximately

700m2) are substandard (built in 1977) and there is a requirement to ensure that there are

facilities suitable for female and disabled participants and that they are adequate and truly

inclusive for everyone in CARFC's ever-growing community. It is the desire that the

energy efficiency measures, accessibility and environmental improvements will increase

participation volumes in all categories. Significantly, it will also encourage other

organisations to use the facilities.
