Technical requirements: The National Transport Authority (NTA) intends to appoint a Client Partner with the appropriate capability and capacity to assist the NTA with the management and delivery of the Core Bus Corridors Infrastructure Works (CBCIW) in Dublin. CBCIW will provide approximately 230km of bus priority and approximately 200km of cycle routes. The CBCIW will be split into 12 schemes across the Greater Dublin Area and delivered in a phased approach. CBCIW will be led by the NTA, with the Client Partner providing support and day-to-day direction, leadership and management through scheme planning, development and on-site delivery. The Client Partner will also coordinate, oversee, direct and work collaboratively with delivery partners, including Design and Build Contractors once appointed, to ensure CBCIW is delivered effectively, efficiently and that its benefits are realised. The Client Partner services can be categorised into 7 broad areas: (1) Project Management Office (2) Commercial and Cost Management (3) Design and Technical Services (4) Framework Management, Local Authority Liaison and Technical Services (ITS) (5) Land, Property and Planning (6) Scheme Delivery and Integration (7) Strategic Communications and Stakeholder Relations. Further detail in relation to each area is contained within the procurement documents. The NTA will not be responsible for any costs, charges or expenses incurred by Candidates or Tenderers relating to this competition, irrespective of the outcome, or if the competition is cancelled or postponed. All costs incurred by interested parties in participating in this competition must be borne by them. The NTA may terminate this competition (or part of it), change the competition's basis or procedures, procure the contract by other means, negotiate with one or more parties at any time, or to do any combination of the foregoing or anything else deemed appropriate. In no instance will the NTA be required to give any reason for any alteration or termination of the process. The most economically advantageous or any tender will not automatically be accepted. The summaries given within this document, or in other information given to Candidates, must not be taken as comprehensive, or as a substitute for reading the procurement documents themselves. Given the long-term duration of the contract, as well as the nature of the services to be provided (which depend on the delivery programme for the underlying Schemes), it is not possible to provide a definitive estimate of the value of the contract. The estimated value stated within this notice represents the NTA’s best estimate at this stage, but the actual value of the contract may be higher or lower depending on the actual volume of services required. The duration of the contract will align with the delivery programme for CBCIW and extend two (2) years beyond completion of the final scheme. The duration of the contract is currently estimated to be approximately ten (10) years; however, this may be amended at the sole discretion of the NTA to align with any revised delivery programme for CBCIW.
