DE - 3662671- Strule Shared Educational Campus Main Works MARKET ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE

This is a Market Engagement Exercise and will be used for information purposes only in advance of a formal tender process. This is not a call for competition. In response to this, Economic Operators (Main Building Contractors) are requested: 1. to attend an information meeting with the Contracting Authority; and 2. to return a market consultation questionnaire. The Project Brief and Market Engagement Questionnaires and information on how to request an information meeting are available in the CfT Dcouments Area of this CfT. Economic Operators are asked to note: 1. anything stated at an information meeting and the response to the questionnaire will be used only for the information of the Department of Education in order to understand the market; 2. the response to the questionnaire and anything arising from an information meeting will be treated as being strictly confidential; 3. neither the response to the questionnaire nor anything said at an information meeting will form part of any pre-qualification or tender stage assessments or will be marked in any manner; 4. Economic Operators will not be penalised or disadvantaged if they later change their position on the response to the question posed in the questionnaire or as stated in an information meeting; 5. information meetings will be conducted to only allow the passing of information as to the parties’ respective positions. No negotiation or broader discussions can be permitted. The SSEC Main Works Competition (MWC) will include the delivery of five post primary school buildings and associated facilities which equate to approximately 64,000m² of building accommodation, in addition to synthetic pitches, infrastructure, environmental protection, landscaping and general site development works. For further information on the progress that has been made to date across the SSEC Programme see section 11.2.4'
