MetroLink's €7.3bn Service Delivery Partner Tender Dominates Irish Procurement

The MetroLink M500 Service Delivery Partner notice — carrying a €7.3bn value — is the standout procurement event of the period, signalling that Ireland’s flagship rail project is moving from planning into delivery partnership. Alongside it, Respond’s call for developers to deliver 100–200 social and cost-rental homes in Cork, valued at €90m, underlines continued pressure on the State to accelerate residential supply through private and voluntary sector channels.
