For each Contract, it is likely that the successful Economic Operator will be required to work at more than one location at any one time in order to meet the requirements of TransportNI's programme of work.

It was extended initially by 6 months beyond the published contract term due to Covid-19 workload restrictions and then by a further 5 months. A further extension of 12 months has been given as Covid-19 pandemic continues to have an impact on the ability of both DfI to develop tender competitions and the roads construction industry to respond to tender opportunities.
