Summary
NSPA has issued a Request for Information (ID 26OEM035, collective number STK26002) for an interim design-build modular school, the BEL Section of the SHAPE International School, on the SHAPE campus in Belgium (Zone 600, on the football field). The RFI is market research only. Responses are voluntary and costs are not reimbursed. The scope covers two containerized or modular buildings of no more than two floors, with about 2,000 m² net area (the annex specifies 1,961 m²). It also includes a 1,000 m² outdoor playground with a 400 m² covered courtyard and a 200 m² fenced area. The contractor would handle the feasibility study, permit-level and implementation design, Walloon municipal permits, installation, and utility connections, which are available within 50 m. The design must be signed by engineers recognized in Belgium. Fixed furniture must be included, such as chemistry lab tables, sinks and fume hoods. Primary classes must be grouped, preferably on the ground floor, and secondary classes grouped together. NSPA expects a lease but also welcomes lease-with-buy proposals. The minimum term is 2 years, with two optional 6-month extensions. Respondents should also price dismantling and provide a yearly O&M estimate. Delivery, including design, permits, construction and handover, is required no later than 15 April 2028. The move must fit within a 2-week school holiday. Respondents are asked for their NSPA registration number (beginning 4000). The RFI document requests responses by 3 November, 12:00 CET, by email to procurement252@nspa.nato.int, while the notice lists a deadline of 23 November 2026. This discrepancy should be clarified with NSPA. The 2011 SHAPE temporary classroom tender specifications are attached for reference. The referenced site map appendix was not provided and is not covered in this summary.
