II.1.4) Short description
Ards and North Down Borough Council seeks to appoint an Integrated Consultancy Team (ICT) to undertake consultancy services through RIBA Stages 0 – 7. The services required under this contract are for the design and management of the delivery of Ballyholme Yacht Club Watersports Centre.TThis project is one of five constituent projects included in the Bangor Waterfront Redevelopment programme, to help re-establish Bangor as a thriving City and prime visitor attraction in Northern Ireland. The Bangor Waterfront Redevelopment project is a tourism led regeneration scheme which has secured funding through the Belfast Region City Deal to turn Bangor into a ‘destination of choice’, as a place to live, work, visit, study and invest, through a series of interconnected developments and experiences along Bangor Waterfront. The redeveloped facility at Ballyholme Yacht Club will contribute to the Contracting Authority's long-term vision to ‘Seamlessly connect the waterfront to the rest of the city and, in doing so, provide a unique, wide range of opportunities for residents, visitors and businesses, inspired by a wonderful environment, public spaces, creative events and activities with attractions that speak of local stories to a global audience’. Ballyholme Yacht Club (BYC) has been identified as a premier location within Northern Ireland to develop sailing and watersports for the community and to attract more competitors and visitors to the area through a full programme of local, national and international watersports events. The Bangor Waterfront Outline Business Case concluded that the current (BYC) facilities are no longer fit for purpose and, therefore, is intended to redevelop the entire site and all associated facilities. A new premier facility will be located within Ballyholme Yacht Club’s existing site boundary, in Ballyholme Bay at the entrance to Belfast Lough and expand on its current offering to increase capacity and accessibility to meet user needs, attract and host additional events, improve the health and well-being of residents, and increase participation in a range of open-water sports across all demographics.
