On 16th April 2022, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) published a Prior Indicative Notice (PIN) in the OJEU (TED Reference: 2022/S 076-208843) and on the eTenders website, etenders.gov.ie - System ID 212034 and link ; TII Tender Reference TII150_01). This PIN launched TII’s Spring market consultation on the proposed PPP project and included for further consultations on the continued development of the three main design-build contract packages for the core infrastructure.
It also required that all parties previously registered under Tender Reference TII150 published on eTenders on 9th November 2019 (“Market Consultation Relating to the Procurement of Design, Construction, Delivery, Maintenance and Operations of Dublin Metrolink”; TED Reference: 2019/S 218-536230 and eTenders system ID 159996) re-register their interest with TII, whether or not they wished to engage in the market consultation for the MetroLink PPP project.
TII is now undertaking a market consultation exercise on the design-build contract packages. The purpose of the consultation is to inform the market of the current contracting approach proposed by TII and to seek feedback on the technical, contractual and commercial aspects of the project. These contract packages comprise the main civil engineering works required for the Project, including the tunnelling works in the southern and central sections of the works and associated deep stations along the route, surface works and stations, the bridge crossing of the M50 motorway and the viaduct crossing at Broadmeadows.
