Summary

Machine-generated summary

A contracting authority in Cork City, Ireland, is seeking a partner to develop and operate a multifunctional event centre, known as the CEC. The venue should be a high-quality civic facility for events, conferences and performers, flexible in design, durable and suitable for intensive public use, with attention to whole-life performance, energy use and maintenance. It will be marketed at regional, national and international levels. This is a concession under Directive 2014/23/EU, with the concession period to be determined during the competition. No estimated contract value is available at this stage, and no deadline is stated. Interested operators should consult the procurement documents for details and participation requirements.

Description

The CEC is envisaged as a high-quality, multifunctional civic venue that is actively used, valued by local communities, and supportive of local employment. It is intended to make a sustained and positive contribution to the cultural, social, and economic life of Cork City and the wider southern region, enhancing the experience of residents and visitors alike. The development of a venue of this scale has been an objective of the Contracting Authority since the 1990s and reflects long-standing strategic planning policy at national and regional levels. The CEC will be marketed at regional, national, and international levels and should demonstrate a standard of quality comparable with leading event and convention facilities elsewhere. The design and specification should be capable of attracting high-profile events, conferences, and performers, ensuring the centre’s competitiveness within the wider market. Flexibility will be a core design principle, with facilities required to be robust, durable, and suitable for intensive public use. Whole-life performance and operational efficiency will be central considerations, including energy use, maintenance, cleaning, and servicing. The duration of the concession period will be determined during the competition in accordance with Directive 2014/23/EU. It is therefore not possible, at this stage, to provide a reliable estimated value of the overall contract(s). Please refer to the procurement documents for further information.
