Name of Contracting Authority:
Dublin Bus / Bus Atha Cliath
Title:
Civils Framework 2025
CfT CA Unique ID:
OJEU 07.2025
Evaluation Mechanism:
Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT)
Description:
The Framework will be in three lots. • Lot 1 will be a single party framework and will be awarded to the most economically advantageous tenderer as a result of the evaluation of a tender competition for civil works. It is intended to use a sample project associated with the installation of Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure to award this Lot. • Lot 2 will arise in the event the successful tenderer in Lot 1 is unable to undertake any requested works in reference to EBCI civil works. Lot 2 would then be run as a mini competition between the framework members that are unsuccessful in the Lot 1 competition. • Lot 3 will be used for any contracts awarded for routine or “business as usual” Civil Works less than €1 million. The main focus of Lot 1 (and Lot 2 to slightly lesser extent) is to mirror the National Transport Authority’s recent tender competition to establish a single and multi-party framework (via Lots) for the design and installation of Electric Bus Charging Infrastructure (EBCI). This EBCI Framework arrangement will produce separate electrical and civil design packages and installation elements of the works required to provide adequate Charging infrastructure at all Dublin Bus depots over the coming years, on a phased basis. • It is intended that Lot 1 be used for the contracts associated with EBCI civil works from €1m ex VAT upward. This will be a single-party framework Lot. • It is intended that Lot 2 be used for contracts associated with EBCI civil works (spillover from Lot 1) and for any potential general civil works (spillover from Lot 3) from €1m ex VAT upward. Mini competitions would be run for each contract within Lot 2. • It is intended that Lot 3 be used for contracts from €15k - €1m ex VAT for general (non-EBCI related*) civil works. This would be predominantly used for “Business as Usual” works such as concrete replacement contracts, vehicle inspection pit works, exploratory works and surveys. Mini competitions will be run per project within Lot 3 *The potential for the construction of concrete-built substations will be allowed for in Lot 3, due to those anticipated contract values of being too low for Lot 1 or Lot 2. Interaction between Lot 1 and Lot 2 In order to ensure that Dublin Bus’s transition to a zero-emission urban public bus fleet can continue to be progressed in a timely and efficient manner, it is intended that most Call-Off Contracts greater than €1m ex VAT relating to EBCI installations shall be awarded to the Framework Contractor appointed to Lot 1. However, where one or more of the following applies to a proposed Call-Off Contract greater than €1m ex VAT relating to EBCI installations, it is intended that Dublin Bus shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to procure this Call-Off Contract from Lot 2 via a mini-competition, whereby Dublin Bus shall issue a request to all Framework Contractors that have been appointed to Lot 2:. • the Framework Contractor appointed to Lot 1 is unable to deliver the full scope of the proposed Call-Off Contract; or • the Framework Contractor appointed to Lot 1 is unable to deliver the full scope of the proposed Call-Off Contract within the timeframe required by Dublin Bus, or • the Framework Contractor appointed to Lot 1 is unable to deliver the required bond for the call-off contract in question, or • the Framework Contractor appointed to Lot 1 does not deliver a reasonable and Value-for-Money price for a contract.
