The Office of Public Works is leading a Strategic Review to assess potential consolidation of some of the State agency footprint at Dublin Port.
This review is being carried out by the Office of Public Works on behalf of Revenue, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Department of Health/ Health Service Executive.
While the capacity at Terminal 7 has already been realised, collaboration continues between all stakeholders in relation to the potential rationalisation of further Dublin Port sites.
Once complete, the Strategic Review will be subject to approval by a steering group, known as the Brexit Infrastructure Group.
A Measured Term Maintenance Contract, in place at the time, provided the Office of Public Works with access to a main contractor for maintenance and minor construction works. As Contracting Authority, the Office of Public Works used this Measured Term Maintenance Contract for the Brexit Infrastructure works to meet urgent project deadlines.
Using the Measured Term Maintenance Contract with pre-tendered rates allowed the Office of Public Works fix prices where possible. In instances of specialist works where pre-tendered rates were not, these works were tendered at market rates.
The Department of Public Expenditure sanctioned this approach.
