€3 million Phase 3 Ulster Canal Restoration - Waterways Ireland tenders contract for engineering consultancy services

Waterways Ireland has gone out to tender with a contract for engineering consultancy services on the €3 million Ulster Canal Restoration Phase 3 - a cross jurisdictional project with works in both Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Ulster Canal Restoration work

When complete, Ulster Canal Restoration Phase 3 will connect the navigations of the previously constructed phases of the Ulster Canal Restoration and provide a navigable link from the Erne Navigation via the restored Ulster Canal to Clones.

Waterways Ireland is tendering for the procurement of a consultancy team in respect of Phases 3.1 and 3.2 only, which extends from Castle Saunderson to Gortnacarrow.

The overall project covers the detailed design, tender and project management of the construction of Phases 3.1 and 3.2 - the main elements of the project are:

  • Develop detailed design of all works, seek all necessary statutory approvals (e.g. AIP, TAS for roads and bridges).
  • Develop the design for the purposes of tendering the construction of the project using the NEC form of contract for works designed by the Client.
  • Commission any additional services necessary to detail the design.

Waterways Ireland intends to award the contract to a single economic operator and anticipates that the consultancy team appointed will:

  • require a wide range of technical and professional skills and industry knowledge
  • bring market leading experience and expertise
  • have a proven track record with projects similar in nature, size, scale and complexity to the project.

Time-limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 30/05/2025 – click here to access the tender documentation online
