Description of the procurement

Luas is Dublin's light rail system and consists of two lines, the Red Line and the Green Line. The system currently comprises 37 kilometres of track, two maintenance depots, 54 stops and a fleet of 66 light rail vehicles. Luas carried 34 million passenger journeys in 2016. A 5.6 kilometre extension to the Green Line is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in December 2017. The system will then comprise 43 kilometres of track, three depots and 73 light rail vehicles, and is expected to carry 42 million passenger journeys in 2018. Further expansion of the system is anticipated and accordingly the scale of the contract with the successful tenderer may increase over its term.
It is anticipated that the O&M Contract will commence operations in Quarter 4, 2019 for a period of six years, with an option to extend by up to a further five years. There will be a mobilisation/transition period from the date of contract signing until the operating commencement date. It is envisaged that revenue risk will be borne by TII but that some fare evasion risk will be borne by the Operator. The passenger services to be provided by the Operator will be defined by a service specification. There will be a performance monitoring system in place based on a number of key performance indicators.
The full scope of services required was set out in the Invitation to Tender documentation which was issued to the successful parties who were shortlisted following the selection/prequalification stage of the procurement process.
