Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII)

Procurement Intelligence

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) is the national agency responsible for developing, operating, and maintaining Ireland’s national roads network and light rail infrastructure, notably the Luas system in Dublin.[4][10] It acts as a central delivery body for major transport infrastructure under the National Development Plan, managing multi‑billion‑euro capital and maintenance programmes across construction, highways, rail, and intelligent transport systems.[3][9] TII’s procurement portfolio spans large-scale civil engineering works, light rail and future metro systems, intelligent transport systems equipment, consultancy and design services, legal and financial advisory, IT systems, and specialist technical services.[2][4][6] Recent award data shows a high volume of frameworks and multi‑year service contracts, supporting long‑term programmes such as MetroLink, national road improvements, and operational support for Luas and other transport assets.[2][3][5][10]

Strategic Context

TII operates within the Government’s National Development Plan and climate‑aligned transport priorities, with a strong focus on MetroLink, BusConnects support, and the decarbonisation and safety upgrading of the national road network.[3][9][14] The wider transport capital envelope has increased substantially, with Exchequer capital allocations of over €100 billion for 2026‑2030, underpinning a robust multi‑annual pipeline for roads, rail and public transport infrastructure in which TII is a key delivery body.[9][14][15] TII has also embedded circular economy and green procurement objectives, including a Circular Economy Strategy 2023‑2025 and use of tools such as the CO₂ Performance Ladder, which influences materials, construction methods and supplier selection in upcoming tenders.[7][11]
