The scope of works will include the role of Principal Contractor as per the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016.

For further information on the progress that has been made to date on the Casement Park project see section II.2.4.

This prior information notice (PIN) is used for information purposes only in advance of a formal two-stage tender process. This PIN is not a call for competition.

In response to the PIN, Economic Operators (Main Remediation Contractors) are requested to provide a response to the following questions:

1. Considering the site location, the nature and volume of the material to be remediated, and the conditions set out in the Planning Permission, what methodology would you consider to be most appropriate for dealing with the made ground material?

2. Based on the quantity of material outlined and your proposed methodology approximately how long would you anticipate the remediation works to take? Please outline the assumptions on which your estimate is based.

3. The client’s preference is for an NEC4 ECC contract, in your opinion and experience which Option would be most suitable for this project?

4. Given that 10% of the tender assessment will be scored on Social Value, what do you consider to be a reasonable balance of Price and Quality for the remaining 90%?

5. What challenges or constraints do you foresee in the delivery of this project (recognising its location in Northern Ireland)?

6. Would you consider tendering for this project as a Main Contractor, as a Subcontractor, as a Consortium member, or not at all?

7. Do you have any other comments at this stage in relation to the project?
