TII391_M140/M150_Utilities Framework for MetroLink

MetroLink will provide a high speed, high capacity, high frequency, modern and efficient public transport service for passengers travelling along the Swords/Airport to City Centre corridor in Dublin, which will be capable of integration with other modes of public transport. Further information on MetroLink is available at www.metrolink.ie/ In advance of the MetroLink main infrastructure works contracts, TII will commence the procurement of the Enabling Works Programme. The Enabling Works Programme comprises the establishment of a suite of frameworks and qualification systems to facilitate the procurement of enabling works which will commence in advance of the main infrastructure works contracts (Civil Engineering, tunnelling and stations) and are designed to clear a path for the main infrastructure works contracts. This approach will ensure that the site areas are free from risks such as existing utilities, archaeology, heritage items (for storage/replacement) and buildings currently occupying station locations etc. to the largest extent possible. To deliver the enabling and advance works for MetroLink, TII intends to establish 3 no. multi-party frameworks as listed below through a negotiated procedure procurement. • Enabling Works and Specialist Heritage Works Framework • Utilities Framework • Civils Enabling Works Framework This PIN is in connection with the Utilities Framework. The purpose of this PIN is to alert the market to TII’s intention to undertake market consultation and subsequently commence a procurement, within the next 3 months from the date of publication of this PIN. It is anticipated that the prequalification documentation will be issued in Q3 2025 with the instructions to tenderers issued in Q4 2025. TII intends to utilise the NEC4 Engineering Construction Contract (ECC) form of contracts for call offs placed under this framework. Interested parties can register their interest at https://www.etenders.gov.ie. Any interested parties wishing to respond to the market consultation in advance of procurement commencement, are required to send a request to the following email address supplychainmetrolink.ie by 12:00hrs on the 20th May 2025 seeking to be issued with a copy of the briefing pack for review and completion of the questionnaire contained within the pack. The questionnaire is required to be completed in full and returned by the closing date of the 27th May 2025 by 12:00hrs to the following email address supplychainmetrolink.ie. TII intends to hold a webinar for the registered interested parties in relation to this procurement on May 29th 2025 at 12:00hrs. TII previously issued a PIN in connection with the MetroLink Advance Works packages for market consultation (reference OJ S 217/2023 10/11/2023)
