Technical requirements: Transport Infrastructure Ireland wishes to set up a single party and a multi party framework contract for the provision of when required quantity surveying, management of programmes, risk management, value management and any other related services in relation to national roads and public transport projects for use by TII and local authorities.
TII has a requirement for commercial, risk and value management consultants for use by TII and the local authorities. Services provided include preparation reviewing of contract documents, cost estimates, final account analyses, updating TII standard documents/templates and developing programme project risk/value management polices, etc.
The EUR 2 m estimate is based on assumptions and information to hand. TII does not commit to this amount as projects are subject to approval. This framework will expire in 4 years but any call-offs signed under this lot (before the framework expiration date) will be valid and will run until completion of the call-off, which may in some cases be a number of years after the framework expires.

Submissions may be submitted by single entities or by groups. A group will not be required to convert into a specific legal form in order to submit a request to participate, but may be required to do so prior to award of the framework. TII also reserves the right to contract with nominated lead contractor, with the other group members as subcontractors or to contract with each member of the group on the basis of joint and several liability or on such other basis as the authority consider appropriate at its discretion.
If a tender is submitted by a group (more than one) of suppliers, then those suppliers, if awarded onto the framework, may be required to assume such legal form by incorporation, partnership or otherwise as will enable them to contract as a single entity. It may become necessary for the group to state a single addressee responsible for the receipt and processing of the participating orders and resolving any problems to the framework. TII reserve the right to disqualify any group or consortium which makes changes to the composition of the group after submission without the consent of TII.
TII is procuring this competition on its own behalf and on behalf of all road authorities in Ireland. Lots 1 and 2 will be available to TII and the following local authorities:
TII will not be liable for any participant’s costs arising in connection with participating in the competition, irrespective of the outcome of the competition, or if the competition is cancelled or postponed.
Or to do any combination of the foregoing or anything else deemed appropriate. In no instance will TII be required to give any reason for any alteration or termination of the process.
