Provision of Architectural and Constructive Design Services

Item Description:

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is seeking a qualified vendor for the provision of Architectural and Constructive Design Services, and for Architectural Supervision.

The OPCW intends to issue a competitive tender to award a Contract for Architectural and Constructive Design Services for a project to upgrade its existing Laboratory and Equipment Store, currently located in Rijswijk, The Netherlands, through the construction of a new Centre for Chemistry and Technology.

This contract will be based on the model presented in the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) White Book, with modifications to account for the special status of the OPCW as an international organisation as well as the OPCW’s General Terms and Conditions for Services.

The ChemTech Centre will cover a floor area of approximately 3.500 m² Gross Leasable Area, on a plot of 6.400 m². It will provide facilities for the laboratory, equipment store, training, meeting rooms, and offices, and will function as a business continuity site for OPCW Headquarters. It will be realised in The Netherlands on Heron Business Park, within the municipality of Pijnacker-Nootdorp, which is approximately 12 km outside The Hague. The ChemTech Centre must therefore be compliant with applicable national laws and regulations, and municipal zoning requirements, which are detailed in the Programme of Requirements.

Interested bidders should contact Procurement to receive the REOI instructions.

Information Day will be held on 03.04.19. Attendance is not compulsory, though it is recommended.
