Lot 1 will be set up as a single party framework, Lot 2 will be set up as a multi-party framework, the Authority does not intend to award both lots to the same tenderer (i.e. the winner of Lot 1 shall not be appointed to the Framework Agreement for Lot 2). Tenderers will not be permitted to make offers based on winning both lots (for example, lower prices if successful in both lots). While Lot 1 is a single supplier framework, a maximum of 3 suppliers may be appointed to Lot 2 providing we receive suitable tenders. The successful tenderers will be required to enter into Framework Agreements with Transport Infrastructure Ireland and Clients. Contracts (‘call-off contracts’) for individual projects may be entered into. The 4 year total value of all call-offs (under both lots) by all clients is forecast to be circa 1 000 000 EUR to 5 000 000 EUR excl.VAT. This may vary and there is no guarantee that call-offs of such value will be awarded under the framework.
