The Contractor will also be required to prepare an adjacent area for a double storey modular temporary accommodation block (Approx. footprint - 650m2), including site services, foundations, external works and temporary access road requirements.

The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs).

However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement, and the contract will be awarded on the basis of the following split: qualitative assessment (50%) / quantitative assessment (50%).
