MetroLink will provide a high speed, high capacity, high frequency, modern and efficient public transport service for passengers travelling along the Swords/Airport to City Centre corridor in Dublin, which will be capable of integration with other modes of public transport.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has commenced the procurement of the Enabling Works Programme. The Enabling Works Programme comprises of the establishment of a suite of Framework Agreements and Qualification Systems to select contractors to deliver Enabling Works in advance of the Main Infrastructure Works contracts (in respect of civil engineering, tunnelling and station works).
The Enabling Works will include the removal and/or relocation of existing utilities, archaeology, heritage items (for storage/replacement) and buildings from site and undertaking other survey activities. To deliver the Enabling and Advance Works for MetroLink, TII has established an Archaeology Services Qualification System with contracts under the Qualification System being awarded. The proposed duration of the Qualification System is 12 years.
TII intends to utilise the GCCC Standard Conditions of Engagement for Archaeological Services (COE-2) form of contract for contracts awarded under this Qualification System.
The Qualification System contains criteria that will need to be satisfied in order for applicants to be admitted to the Qualification System. Once successfully admitted onto the Qualification System, Applicants will be issued with an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for subsequent call off contracts.
The first contact was released to those already on the system in the past week.
The next contract is expected in Quarter 2/3 2026.
While applications may be made to join the Qualification System at any time over its duration, those interested in being considered for the next contract in the Qualification System, should submit a completed Qualification System Questionnaire (QSQ) by 30th April. The QSQ can be found on eTenders – European Dynamics – View DPS Workspace
