## Description
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council (MEABC) wish to appoint an Economic Operator to provide a Project Manager led Integrated Consultant Team (ICT) in relation to the design and delivery of the i4C Innovation and Cleantech Centre at the St Patrick's Barracks regeneration site in Ballymena. The St Patrick's Barracks site is one of four former military sites transferred to the NI Executive as part of the (2010) Hillsborough Agreement. The Northern Ireland Government Department for Communities (DfC) now owns the site and is leading on a programme of development to transform this area of Ballymena. MEABC is working with a number of key strategic partners to deliver the St Patrick's Barracks Regeneration Project (including development and operation of the i4C Innovation and Cleantech Centre). These include Radius Housing, Northern Regional College, Police Service of Northern Ireland as well as the Northern Ireland Government Departments for Infrastructure (DfI), for Communities (DfC) and the Construction Procurement and Delivery (CPD) section of the Department of Finance (DoF). The Economic Operator will be required to work with the key strategic partners. 
The proposed i4C Centre is a  new 7,000 m2 building that will form a physical hub to support future innovation activity in Mid and East Antrim and future clean technology needs across Northern Ireland (NI). The Economic Operator will be appointed under the NEC4 Professional Service Contract (as appropriately amended) and shall provide the professional services applicable to RIBA Plan of Work (2020) Stages 2 to 7 and as specified in the PQQ and ITT documents. The new building is to have a BREEAM Excellent rating.
A Design and Build procurement route has been selected for the delivery of the i4C Centre. The ICT shall develop the design of the centre through RIBA Plan of Work (2020) Stages 2 and 3. MEABC (with support of the ICT) shall subsequently procure (via a competitive procurement procedure) an Integrated Supplier Team (IST) to complete the design and delivery the i4C Centre throughout all remaining RIBA Plan of Work (2020) Stages 4 to 7.
Following the procurement and appointment of the IST, the Economic Operator shall undertake the management of the IST on behalf of MEABC and continue to advise MEABC as required in relation to the delivery of the i4C centre.
MEABC also wish to develop a Civic Events Space adjacent to the i4C Centre. It is expected that MEABC will have achieved planning permission for the Civic Events Space by the time this ICT appointment has been made.  The PM led ICT from this appointment may also be asked to develop the design of the Civic Events Space and include it within the IST Works Information for delivery along with the i4C Innovation and Cleantech Centre.
The term of contract for engagement of the Project Manager led ICT is anticipated to begin in October 2023 and end on expiry of the defects period set out in the IST construction contract  (which MEABC currently inte...
