Multi Framework Agreement for the design supply delivery and installation of shelving and furniture in 4 lots, within Dublin City Libraries Branch Network and administrative offices

Dublin City Council, Library Services, proposes to establish a Multi-Party Framework Agreement for 4 years, for the Design, Supply and Delivery of Library Furniture and Shelving, and Office Furniture. Dublin City Council Libraries reserves the right, at its discretion, to extend the Term for a period or periods of up to Twelve (12) months with a maximum of Two (2) such extension or extensions on the same terms and conditions, subject to the Dublin City Council’s obligations at law. The Term will not exceed six (6) years in aggregate. The requirements will include the design and provision of library shelving, library furniture and bespoke furniture to offer full library solutions. It is expected that the successful tenderer(s) can when required produce satisfactory drawings/representations of proposed designs and layouts. Some element of complimenting of existing furniture will also be required. The requirements of this framework will include but may not be limited to the below: • Adult library area shelving • Adult library area issue/circulation desk and storage • Adult library IT area desks and chairs • Adult library area easy seating/newspaper display • Adult library area study desks and chairs • Adult library area additional items • Meeting room table and chairs • Office furniture and storage • Young adult library area shelving and seating • Children’s library area shelving • Children’s library area tables and chairs • Children’s library area story and activity zone with storage and seating options • Children’s library area additional items • Design and production of digital and/or soft copy representation of proposed layout options (when appropriate). Tenderers should take due care and attention to the detailed requirements set out in this section of this RTF. Tenderers should satisfy themselves that they have the ability, capacity and resources to carry out these services on behalf of DCC Library Services. These services must be responsive and delivered to a high standard that meets DCC expectations. The requirements are divided into 4 Lots: Lot 1 General Library Furniture Annual Spend Circa €130K Turnover Requirements €200K Lot 2 Children’s Library Furniture Annual Spend Circa €80K Turnover Requirements €150K Lot 3 Shelving Annual Spend Circa €160K Turnover Requirements €200K Lot 4 Office Furniture Annual Spend Circa €30K Turnover Requirements €80K Note: This is a estimated spend per Lot and the maximum value of the framework is €3 million over 6 years (including extensions.) Tenderers may bid for any or all 4 Lots, taking note of the Economic and Financial Standing threshold requirements listed for each or any combination of lots within the guidance. Each Lot will be individually assessed, and as such the authority will award contracts for each Lot which could result in a Tenderer being appointed to one, two or all 4 Lots. .
