National Transport Authority_1149

The NTA is a statutory non-commercial body, which operates under the aegis of the Department of Transport. Established in 2009, the NTA is responsible for developing and implementing strategies to provide high quality, accessible, sustainable transport across Ireland. The Core Bus Corridors Infrastructure Works (CBCIW) is an integral part of the BusConnects Dublin which aims to deliver an enhanced bus system that is better for the city, its people, and the environment. The BusConnects Dublin CBCIW involves the development of continuous bus priority infrastructure and improved pedestrian and cycling facilities on key radial core corridors in the Greater Dublin Area, across the local authority jurisdictions of Dublin City Council, South Dublin County Council, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Fingal County Council, and Wicklow County Council. Overall, the CBCIW encompasses the delivery of approximately 230km of dedicated bus lanes and 200kms of cycle tracks. The Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2022-2042 sets out that subject to obtaining statutory planning approvals, the NTA will deliver the works through 12 Core Bus Corridors as per the Dublin BusConnects programme. Further information about the 12 schemes making up the CBCIW can be found within the procurement documents. In order to deliver the individual scheme’s the NTA is seeking to establish a framework covering all 12 CBCIW schemes in their current form alongside any successors and/or variations. Up to 6 Contractors will be appointed to the framework to facilitate the successful delivery of the CBCIW schemes. This procurement will follow the negotiated procedure with prior call for competition. Up to 8 Candidates may be shortlisted from the Pre-Qualification stage to the Invitation To Negotiate (ITN) stage. The framework value is excluding VAT. Given the long term duration of the framework, as well as the nature of the schemes to be constructed, it is not possible to provide a definitive estimate of the value of the framework. The estimated value stated within this notice represents the NTA’s best estimate at this stage, but the actual value of the framework may be higher or lower depending on the actual volume of services required. It is anticipated that the framework will be in place for a period of four (4) years with the option to extend annually for up to four (4) additional years (4+1+1+1+1) at the sole discretion of the NTA. The estimated framework value encompasses the 12 schemes over the full 8 year duration. At ITN stage, the evaluation will be based on an initial tender which will comprise of technical and commercial responses to be submitted by Tenderers. Tenders will be evaluated to determine the most economically advantageous tenderer(s). The NTA reserves the right to not conduct any negotiation and accept initial tenders as final. The NTA will utilise the New Engineering Contract 4 (NEC4) for call-off contracts.
