Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) launched a Periodic Information Notice (PIN) on 19th May 2025 for the MetroLink Enabling Works programme.
The Enabling Works 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.
The programme of Enabling Works comprises the establishment of a suite of framework agreements 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).
To deliver the Enabling and Advance Works for MetroLink, TII intends to establish three no. multi-party framework agreements, and two no. qualification systems as shown below;
Call-off contracts are currently being developed for each of these frameworks and qualification systems and will be procured as scheduled throughout the lifetime of the MetroLink Programme
The Enabling Works programme is being procured via procedures which will encompass the issue of a Contract Notice and the issue of pre-qualification documents for the frameworks and qualification system questionnaires for the qualification systems.
Award of call-off contracts under the frameworks and qualification systems will not take place until a Railway Order is Operational, and Approval Gate 2 has been achieved in accordance with government published Infrastructure Guidelines.
