Ireland - Installation of signalling equipment - Intelligent Transport Systems Equipment Frameworks Generation 2

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has a requirement to establish nine framework lots under the TII492 Intelligent Transport Systems Equipment Frameworks Generation 2 programme. Lots 1, 2 and 3A to 3F will support TII’s ITS equipment requirements, while Lot 4 will establish a framework to support local authorities in delivering Periodic School Limit signage in accordance with a Government directive. The proposed framework term is four years. The estimated maximum value is €27 million for Lots 1, 2 and 3A to 3F, and €48 million for Lot 4, giving a total estimated maximum value of €75 million across all lots. Lots 1 - 3A to 3F (TII’s requirement for ITS equipment) Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) operates and maintains a network of roadside Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) equipment linked to the Motorway Operations Control Centre (MOCC) in Dublin Tunnel. This infrastructure supports the safe and efficient operation of the national road network. The ITS Equipment Framework will provide the contractual mechanism through which TII may procure ITS equipment, installation services and associated civil works required to maintain, renew and expand the network. Lot 4 (Department of Transport and local authorities requirement for ITS Equipment) A Government directive requires local authorities to install Periodic School Limit (PSL) signs at schools nationwide. Following engagement with the Department of Transport, Lot 4 has been included to establish a framework agreement through which local authorities may procure these works. TII’s role will be limited to establishing the framework agreement and overseeing the eTenders system and monitoring framework ceiling limits. Local authorities will conduct mini-competitions and fund the resulting call-off contracts. TII does not currently expect to use Lot 4 directly, but will retain the option to do so if required. Lot 1 is a multi-supplier framework agreement for ITS equipment exceeding €500,000. This framework provides for the supply, installation, integration, and commissioning of ITS equipment across the national road network. Works include the provision and installation of roadside electronic systems (e.g. CCTV, VMS, ANPR, TMUs), together with testing, commissioning, and integration into existing TII and third-party platforms. The Contractor will be responsible for traffic management, PSCS duties, stakeholder coordination, and integration with TII and third-party systems, and shall ensure that all equipment is operational and compliant with applicable technical, software, cybersecurity, and safety requirements. The frameworks deliver end-to-end ITS solutions, from supply through to live system operation.; Lot 2 is a single-supplier framework agreement for ITS equipment valued at less than €500,000. This framework provides for the supply, installation, integration, and commissioning of ITS equipment across the national road network. Works include the provision and installation of roadside electronic systems (e.g. CCTV, VMS, ANPR, TMUs), together with testing, commissioning, and integration into existing TII and third-party platforms. The Contractor will be responsible for traffic management, PSCS duties, stakeholder coordination, and integration with TII and third-party systems, and shall ensure that all equipment is operational and compliant with applicable technical, software, cybersecurity, and safety requirements. The frameworks deliver end-to-end ITS solutions, from supply through to live system operation. Please Note : Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) intends to award the framework agreement and the initial call-off contract in parallel to the highest-ranked bidder. Works under the contract will be issued by way of task orders, meaning the appointed contractor will be contractually obliged to deliver the specified works as and when required by TII. Both the framework agreement and the initial call-off contract will have a duration of four years. However, individual task orders issued during this period may extend beyond the end of the framework term, where permitted under the contract.; The scope includes the supply, installation, testing, integration, commissioning, and handover of ITS equipment, comprising: • Lot 3A: Advanced Matrix Indicators (AMI) and Variable Message Signs (VMS) The Contractor shall deliver the Works at specified locations, coordinate with relevant stakeholders, and ensure full integration with TII systems. Responsibilities will include traffic management, PSCS duties, and compliance with all applicable statutory, safety, technical, and operational requirements. Please note: No call-off contract will be issued immediately upon award of Lot 3A Instead, once a specific requirement is identified, TII will request a quotation from the contractor and, subject to agreement, will enter into a call-off contract. The call-off contract will remain in place for the remaining duration of the framework. For example, where a call-off contract is established six months after the framework commencement, the contract duration will extend for the remaining three and a half years. This contract will cover the delivery of the initial scope of works and provide for the instruction of additional work, as required, through task orders over its duration. This approach ensures that contractors are contractually obliged to deliver works as and when required, while avoiding the need for them to maintain insurances, and associated overheads in advance of any confirmed workload.; The scope includes the supply, installation, testing, integration, commissioning, and handover of ITS equipment, comprising: • Lot 3B: Cabinets and ancillary equipment The Contractor shall deliver the Works at specified locations, coordinate with relevant stakeholders, and ensure full integration with TII systems. Responsibilities will include traffic management, PSCS duties, and compliance with all applicable statutory, safety, technical, and operational requirements. Please note: No call-off contract will be issued immediately upon award of Lot 3B Instead, once a specific requirement is identified, TII will request a quotation from the contractor and, subject to agreement, will enter into a call-off contract.

This approach ensures that contractors are contractually obliged to deliver works as and when required, while avoiding the need for them to maintain insurances, and associated overheads in advance of any confirmed workload.; Lot 4 provides for the supply, installation, integration, and commissioning of Dynamic Warning Signs, thereby establishing a framework agreement through which local authorities may procure speed limit signage, including Periodic School Limit signs, at schools nationwide. The Contractor shall be responsible for delivery of fully operational systems, including coordination with other contractors and integration with existing TII platforms (e.g. NIMS, ATMS, AFMS). Key obligations include traffic management, PSCS duties, subcontractor management, and compliance with applicable safety, technical, and cybersecurity requirements. The scope also includes software provision, system integration, remote monitoring capability, and full handover, ensuring all equipment operates effectively within the existing network. Please Note: Following engagement with the Department of Transport, Lot 4 has been introduced to address a significant and time-critical national requirement arising from the national speed limit review. The Department has issued a ministerial circular requiring local authorities to adopt special speed limit bye-laws for school zones by the end of October 2026 and to implement the associated signage by March 2027. This has resulted in a substantial and urgent demand for Periodic Speed Limit Signs (PSLS). Lot 4 establishes a framework agreement through which local authorities may procure these works. TII’s role will be limited to establishing and managing the framework agreement, including overseeing eTenders system and monitoring of framework ceiling values. Local authorities will be responsible for conducting mini-competitions and funding all resulting call-off contracts. TII does not currently anticipate direct use of Lot 4 but retains the option to utilise the framework should a requirement arise.
