Technical Consultancy Service Frameworks for Greenways and Active Travel, with Local Authorities and Transport Infrastructure Ireland acting as Client

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII)

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (the "Contracting Authority") has a requirement acting as a central purchasing body for 2.no multi-party framework agreements (each a “Framework Agreement”) for the provision of technical consultancy services for the delivery of Greenway and Active Travel projects, together with any ancillary services which may be inferred therefrom, or be necessary to carry out the services (the “Services”). • Lot 1 – Schemes with an Estimated Construction Value of greater than € 10 Million and/or Complex Schemes of Value less than €10 Million – PMG Phases 0 to 7 inclusive • Lot 2 – Schemes with an Estimated Construction Value of less than or equal to € 10 Million – PMG Phases 0 to 7 inclusive A portfolio of over 70 potential projects has been collated at this point and TII have identified a need for significant Technical Advisor Resources to take these projects through the various Phases of the TII Project Management Guidelines (PMGs) and Project Appraisal Guidelines (PAGs). There is considerable variance in the scale, nature, and complexity of these projects, with some envisaged as greenfield schemes, while others are likely to take advantage of existing road, canal, and rail corridors. In more urban areas the projects tend to be Active Travel projects rather than Greenways, that is the delivery of specific purpose walking/cycling infrastructure, as opposed to recreational greenways.
