II.1.4) Short description

Ards and North Down Borough Council seeks to appoint an Integrated Consultancy Team (ICT) to design, manage and deliver a transformational solution for the redevelopment of Bangor’s Urban Waterfront and Public Realm, from RIBA Stage 0 through to RIBA Stage 7. This 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 services required under this contract are for the design and delivery of the Urban Waterfront and Public Realm Redevelopment project (Constituent Project 1 in the wider redevelopment programme). The Urban Waterfront and Public Realm Redevelopment project aims to transform a 2 mile stretch of waterfront in Bangor, to uplift, connect, and rejuvenate the entire waterfront route and provide a strong foundation for the seamless integration of the other four, interdependent constituent projects under the Bangor Waterfront Redevelopment Programme. The project site extends across five diverse Character Areas, each requiring its own site-specific, sensitive, and sustainable design response, to address existing deficiencies and unify the waterfront route through interconnected spaces, buildings, facilities, place making initiatives and public realm improvements. The site proposed for redevelopment, is located in Bangor, a large seaside City situated on the southern side of Belfast Lough and within the Belfast Metropolitan area. Bangor is the third largest urban development in Northern Ireland, with a catchment population of circa 170,000 persons within a 20-minute drive time and circa 475,000 persons within a 30-minute drive time. In May 2022, the town was awarded City status as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. The redevelopment site extends across a 2 mile stretch of coastline in Bangor, County Down, between Skippingstone Beach to the west (near Pickie Fun Park) and Banks Lane, Ballyholme, to the east. The site is comprised of five key ‘Character Areas’ which are diverse in character, identity, topography, environment, activities, role and function. The identified Character Areas are Skippingstone (north of Pickie Fun Park), Bangor Marina and Harbour, Seacliff Road (including the Long Hole), Kingsland and Ballyholme Promenade and adjoining areas. The Character Areas described above collectively make up the site area proposed for the UWPR redevelopment.
