M100 Enabling Works

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 a series of Contracts, Frameworks and Qualifications Systems.

The M100 packaging strategy is detailed below.

M100 Procurement Scheduling

MetroLink recognises the importance of providing clear and reliable information on the M100 procurement process. To ensure the schedule reflects the most accurate timelines, we are currently completing an internal assurance review.

The procurement schedule is being updated but we are able to share more detail on the M14 Utilities & Enabling Framework in the table below.

At this point in time, the indicative dates we can provide are:

M14 Utilities & Enabling Framework	Contract Notice: PQQ	Live
Archaeology QS	Contract Notice: QS	Live and open for QSQ submissions
M160 Environmental Monitoring (1st Contract)	Contract Notice: PQQ	Live
M190 Specialist Heritage	Contract Notice: PQQ	Q2 2026
M20 Minor Works Framework	Contract Notice: PQQ	Q2 2026
M120 Heavy Civils Enabling Works Framework	Contract Notice: PQQ	Live

*Additional dates, e.g. PQQ due date and ITT dates will be provided within the Contract Notice.

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. The qualification system for Archaeology is now live and can access the Contract Notice via eTenders.
