Following a review of future requirements, NIE Networks has carried out a level of re-design on the new Craigavon office building. The re-design has increased the overall size of the building, and also incorporated changes to the Control Centre. Due to the design changes a new planning application was required. This has been submitted and it is NIE Networks' intention to conclude the Contract award in parallel with planning. This re-design process has resulted in the estimated cost of the construction increasing. The Contracting Entity now estimates that the total spend under the Contract is between PS8 million to PS11 million. The review of requirements and re-design of the building has also led to a delay in the procurement process and NIE Networks now anticipates that it shall be requesting updated best and final offers from the Economic Operators remaining in the process in January 2024, with a view to the Contract starting September 2024."
