What is being bought

Published requirement description

Ward Park is a 37-acre urban park, located close to the centre of Bangor, Co Down, owned and managed by Ards and North Down Borough Council. The Park has a zoo licence which permits the keeping of unusual birds for viewing by the public, and includes bird aviaries, housing fowl, canaries, budgerigars, peacocks, and peahens. The Park is characterised by the fact that it contains numerous mature trees and a chain of three narrow interconnected ponds which form a significant feature through the centre of the Park. Ward Park has been identified as requiring significant improvements in order to restore the heritage of the park. The main watercourse running through the area is in need of attention to alleviate a significant silting problem. The park also needs updating to meet the changing needs of its users, and to address issues such as accessibility, and quality of facilities. Ards and North Down Borough Council seeks to appoint an Economic Operator to provide the services of an Integrated Consultancy Team (ICT) to initially carry out a review of the RIBA Stage 3 detailed design and then to undertake RIBA Stages 4 to Stage 7 services.

As detailed in the Tender Documents

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

CPD complied with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) and incorporated a standstill period (i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) at the point information on the award of contract was communicated to tenderers. That notification provided full information on the award decision. This provided time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract was entered into.

Publisher note: Contract Monitoring. The successful contractor’s performance on the contract will be regularly monitored. Contractors not delivering.. on contract requirements is a serious matter. It means the public purse is not getting what it is paying for. If a contractor fails to reach.. satisfactory levels of contract performance they will be given a specified time to improve. If, after the specified time, they still fail to reach.. satisfactory levels of contract performance, the matter will be escalated to senior management in CPD for further action. If this occurs.. and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave.. professional misconduct and they may be issued with a Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance and the contract may be terminated... The issue of a Certificate of Unsatisfactory Performance will result in the contractor being excluded from all procurement competitions.. being undertaken by Centres of Procurement Expertise on behalf of bodies covered by the Northern Ireland Procurement Policy for a.. period of twelve months from the date of issue of the certificate.
