Legal form for consortia

In the event of a consortium submission, each consortium member may be required to contract with NIE Networks on such basis as is considered appropriate by NIE Networks, at its discretion. However, having regard to the nature, size and complexity of the Contract and the likely roles of the consortium parties, Bidders should note that NIE Networks’ intention is to require one consortium member to contract as the prime contractor (with the remaining consortium members being appointed as sub-contractors to the prime contractor and entering into direct agreements, collateral warranties or guarantees with NIE Networks).
