two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The contract notice for the Dundonald International Ice Bowl (DIIB) Main Contractor was advertised on 12th March 2021 with the PQQ being issued on this date. The ITT was issued on 10th June 2022 and closed on 26th September 2022. Extreme volatility in the market and unprecedented turmoil in commodity markets globally lead to tenders received being excessively over budget. Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council (The Council) and their consultants undertook a review of affordability options and as a result of this the Council amended conceptual designs highlighting a reduced scheme and a schedule of reductions was sent to be completed by all tenderers.

Proposed phasing of the buildings construction will include removal of Adventure Play (including the external Play Park) and Healthcare from this contract. Key impacts of these changes include:

- Internal walls to be upgraded to external wall façades following removal of areas of the building, structural design to be reviewed and upgraded where building elements have been omitted;

- A temporary external screened fire escape required from Gym Mezzanine level;

- Courtyard roof to extend over lower ground Bowling accommodation;

- Handrail/guarding to link roof between Hub and Adventure Play;

- Ground to be graded as required following removal of Play Park, Adventure Play and Health care

- A proposed alternative to the concrete cladding to perforated aluminium cladding panel with the original decoration/tree effect.

- Landscaping/ planting; The planting and the children’s play area will become part of a second phase. Therefore, as part of this contract the proposed children’s area will be a grassed area.

.

Given the delays in the procurement process the Programme has also been updated and it is anticipated that works will be completed in November 2026.
