Limerick City and County Council_103432

## Summary Limerick City and County Council is establishing a multi-party framework agreement for active travel and urban realm improvement schemes. The procurement covers civil works, including road construction, landscaping, and drainage, to be delivered within the Limerick local authority area.

## Scope & Deliverables - Construction and improvement of active travel infrastructure (e.g., cycle lanes, pedestrian routes). - Urban realm improvements including landscaping and surface works. - Drainage system construction and ground-drainage works. - General civil engineering works related to road construction. - Works frequency and scale are variable, dependent on funding availability and specific council needs.

## Key Requirements - Eligibility: Open to all qualified contractors; not reserved for specific social enterprises. - Selection: Restricted procedure; minimum of 8 candidates will be invited to the second stage. - Documentation: Specific selection criteria and grounds for exclusion are detailed in the Procurement Document. - Compliance: Must adhere to Directive 2014/24/EU and Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) standards.

## Commercials & Timeline - Estimated Value: €50,000,000 (excluding VAT). - Contract Duration: 48 months. - Submission Deadline: Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at 14:00 IST. - Request to Participate Deadline: June 2, 2026, at 14:00 IST. - Framework Type: Multi-party framework agreement without reopening of competition.

## How to Bid - Submission Method: Electronic submission via the eTenders portal is mandatory. - Submission Address: https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/viewTenders.do?resourceId=8048863 - Language: English. - Key Documents: Tender documents are available at https://www.etenders.gov.ie/epps/cft/listContractDocuments.do?resourceId=8048863. - Additional Info: Requests for clarification must be submitted by May 19, 2026, at 17:00 IST.

## Bid Considerations - Strategic Fit: Ideal for contractors with strong capabilities in civil engineering, landscaping, and urban infrastructure projects. - Opportunity: Access to a significant €50M framework allows for multiple call-offs over four years, providing steady pipeline potential. - Risk: The "multi-party" nature and variable scope mean revenue is not guaranteed; performance depends on future funding allocations and council priorities. - Competition: Limited to a maximum of 8 participants, suggesting a highly competitive shortlist stage.

Restricted procedure. A two-stage process: suppliers first complete a selection questionnaire (capacity, experience, financial standing), and only those who qualify are invited to submit a full tender. Plan for the pre-qualification stage well before the tender deadline.
