#Transport Infrastructure #Ireland (TII) has launched procurement for MetroLink’s first major civil works, issuing contract notices on 3 February for the M401 and M402 design and build packages. The contracts cover the core infrastructure for Ireland’s first #metro system in #Dublin, including tunnelling, stations, track preparation and major structures.
The procurement process begins with pre-qualification, followed by a competitive tender stage. The maximum combined contract value is €7.9 billion excluding VAT, with final tender prices expected to be lower.
M401 covers the southern section from Charlemont to Northwood, while M402 covers the northern section from Northwood to the Estuary, including surface works, viaducts, stations and depot preparation. Sustainability and carbon performance will form part of the assessment, in line with national climate objectives.
