Question:
Good afternoon,

Could you please clarify whether submission of the registration form is intended exclusively for Principal Consultant roles across all consultants, or if it is also applicable to consultants seeking lead roles within their specific disciplines, those considering joint ventures with others interested in the Principal Consultant role, or those wishing to participate as sub-consultants?

Thanks.

The purpose of this ITO is to appoint one, or multiple suitably qualified Principal Consultants who formulate their individually appointed subconsultant team to deliver the PVR Concept Design services for five Games venues under this ITO.

The appointed PC(s) will be responsible for developing the design activities up to the Concept Design Stage for each venue.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Question:
This ITO is noted to close on 3 Dec 2025, however the request summary indicates that invitation and release of documents will happen 26 Nov 2025.

Please confirm that eligible responses to this ITO will continue until 3 Dec, and invitation and release documents will be AFTER this date.

The registration process will remain open until 5pm on 3rd December 2025.

Question:
Good morning, could GIICA please advise if we can respond to this ITO if we wish to deliver on only one of the venue projects listed?

Answered on 26/Nov/2025 03:50 PM:


The tenderer is required to nominate which individual project (venue/s 1 – 5) they are tendering for, together with a response that demonstrates experience corresponding to the specific project particulars (to be supplied on QTenders) once compliance with the minimum criteria is met.

Tenders can submit for one, two ……or all projects as part of this procurement phase.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Question:
Dear GIICA Procurement Team,

We refer to your Request for Registration for Principal Consultant, Project Validation Report, Concept Design Services (VP Reference Number: VP488187).

To assist us in preparing our response, we seek clarification on the following points:

Scope of Services:

Could you please confirm whether this engagement is strictly for design consultation services only, or if it also includes the preparation and management of Project Validation Reports (PVRs)?

PVR Procurement Process:

If the PVRs are being procured to be written and managed through a separate engagement, could you advise if the procurement process for those PVRs follow the same approach as this registration and subsequent ITO process?

Your guidance on these matters will help ensure our submission aligns with your expectations.

Thank you for your assistance. We look forward to your response.

The PC appointed for each individual project will be responsible for developing the design activities up to the Concept Design Stage for each project. These designs will serve as foundational inputs for the PVRs, which will be prepared by a separately engaged PVR Writer (engaged by GIICA). Throughout the process, the PC will collaborate closely with the PVR Writer to provide compliant technical and design documentation required for government investment decisions.

PVR Procurement Process:

If the PVRs are being procured to be written and managed through a separate engagement, could you advise if the procurement process for those PVRs follow the same approach as this registration and subsequent ITO process?

No, a different approach has been utilised and a selective tender process has been followed.

Question:
The documentation suggested that you must be registered in country, is this correct or can companies based in the UK only issue a submission as the ROI allowed this?

Answered on 01/Dec/2025 11:55 AM:


Overseas may register, they will just have to prove through qualifications.

Question:
Good morning,

If tenderers wish to submit for more than one venue, does GIICA require a separate submission for each venue? Or may one, consolidated offer be provided with separate price pro-formas etc.?

Thank you.

Answered on 02/Dec/2025 11:01 AM:


No, there is one Procurement Process for all five venues. Tenderers are to indicate which venues they intend to respond to when submitting their tender responses.

Yes, there are separate response documents for each venue.

Question:
Dear GIICA,

Our preferred PVR engineering consultant is also tendering for the Delivery Partner role.

We would like to include them on our team as they meet the requirements of the brief – can you please advise how we should proceed.

Thank you.

You can proceed on this basis, however if this partner is successful on the DP process they will need to be replaced.
