Installation of road signs

Tender description

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (the ‘Contracting Authority’) wishes to procure road signs and ancillary works on the National Road Network. The best way of fulfilling the Contracting Authorities requirements is through the establishment of a framework panel. An open procurement procedure will be used to appoint a number of tenderers to the Framework Agreement ensuring the availability of a panel of suitably qualified contractors, capable of executing and completing signage works/projects of varying sizes and degrees of complexity. The framework agreement will be set up using the open procedure in accordance with EU Directive 2014/24/EU. The successful tenderers will be awarded a place on the framework agreement panel and become the ‘Framework Participants’. Contracts As set out in more detail in the framework agreement, contracts will be awarded following a mini-competition for task orders between framework participants who are capable of undertaking the work, using the most economically advantageous tender award criteria as detailed in the mini competition tender documents. The form of contract to be used for the works awarded following a mini-competition for task orders will be either, the: — term maintenance and refurbishment works contract, or the — contract for minor building and civil engineering works designed by the employer, — public works short form of contract, — other contracts as appropriate.
