The European Commission intends to conclude 2 contracts over 2 lots relating to the overall management of logistical services of an office facility located at Grange, Dunsany, County Meath, Ireland. The facility accommodates the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO) and an IT unit, both of which are an integral part of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Health and Consumers. The location is approximately 45 kilometres to the north-west of Dublin City, on a site on the main road from the town of Trim (R 154).

The campus features:

a large conference facility with interpretation and back-up facilities;

cellular office accommodation for up to 250 staff;

3 communication (comms) rooms;

kitchen and dining facilities;

archive storage;

crèche/childcare buildings and a service compound are adjacent to, but separate from, the main complex.

The numbers on site are made up of European Commission staff and various service providers (e.g. facilities management operational personnel, security, crèche service providers and catering staff) could total approximately 190. However, the nature of the work carried out requires staff to work away from the office for periods. As a result of this pattern, during working weeks and around holiday periods, the population on site can vary. It is rare that the site population on any occasion would exceed 140 people.

The European Commission intends to conclude 2 contracts to provide services to its premises in Grange, Dunsany, County Meath, Ireland. This contract notice covers 2 lots as follows:

lot 1 — general facilities management and ancillary services;

lot 2 — cleaning services.

Economic operators may apply for 1 or both lots.

Descriptions of each lot are to be found in 'information about lots' in this notice.
