NTA's €80m Ballycoolin Bus Depot Leads a Heavy Week for Public Infrastructure
This week's standout Irish public tenders — what to watch and where the deadlines fall.
The National Transport Authority has gone to market for an €80m design-and-build contract for a new bus depot at Ballycoolin, one of the most significant single transport infrastructure procurements seen this year. Alongside it, the Land Development Agency is seeking a contractor for a €58m affordable-housing scheme at Cherry Orchard, keeping housing delivery firmly in the spotlight.
Construction
The Land Development Agency’s €58m Cherry Orchard affordable-for-sale development (Pro405) is the standout live opportunity, with Clúid Housing Association also seeking a design-and-build contractor for 36 homes and a community centre at Mill Lane, Leixlip, valued at €14.5m. Dublin City Council’s Lot A Framework carries a headline figure of €1.75bn, but that reflects a lifetime framework cap rather than immediate spend, so bidders should size their ambition accordingly.
- Design, Construction and Delivery of Cherry Orchard (Affordable for Sale) Housing Development (Pro405) — The Land Development Agency · €58.0m
- Lot A Framework — Dublin City Council · €1750.0m
- Works Contractor PSCS and PSDP - Contractor Design and Build (PWCF2) - Development of 36no. homes and community centre at Mill Lane, Leixlip, Co. Kildare — Clúid Housing Association · €14.5m
