The Arts Council of Wales has issued a solicitation for a comprehensive study into the business and operational needs of the Welsh arts sector, targeting organisations and freelancers rather than creative practitioners. The research will map current and future skill gaps in areas such as governance, finance, human resources, planning, compliance, and digital capability, while also assessing organisational capacity, operational systems and infrastructure. In addition, the study will identify training and development requirements for multi‑year funded organisations and skills needs across the sector, and will explore emerging opportunities and risks that could influence long‑term sustainability.

To achieve these objectives the chosen research body will design and administer a sector‑wide survey, conduct qualitative engagements with stakeholders across diverse art‑forms and regions, and engage with existing datasets to avoid duplication of prior work. The final outputs will comprise a bilingual research report containing methodology, detailed findings, forward‑looking insights and actionable recommendations, a presentation of those findings to the Arts Council and key stakeholders, and clean, metadata‑rich datasets with accompanying methodological notes. All deliverables will be produced in both English and Welsh, with full bilingual documentation and datasets.

Transport Infrastructure Ireland is procuring a comprehensive heavy civil engineering programme to enable the construction of the MetroLink network in Dublin. The framework covers the full spectrum of civil works required for major infrastructure elements, including site preparation, hoarding, logistics and welfare arrangements, and extensive utilities diversions. It also encompasses detailed surveys, ground investigations, bulk earth and rock excavation, as well as the design, construction and fit‑out of viaducts, overbridges, underbridges, walkways, retaining and guide walls, diaphragm and secant piling, rock bolts, anchors, capping beams, shotcrete, mesh, and fissure sealing. Supplementary activities include the erection of reinforcement works, monitoring of settlement and ground movement with remedial work where necessary, de‑watering and water treatment, site waste management, mechanical, electrical and plumbing provisions, and the complete structural, civil and engineering design package.

The procurement is structured as a two‑lot Design‑and‑Build framework under the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract, with LTCs and MEP works to be awarded through subsequent call‑off contracts. The first lot covers complex or high‑value engagements of €50 million or more, including elements such as station boxes and major viaducts, while the second lot addresses lower‑value envelopes under €50 million, such as retaining walls and support works. The framework is intended to facilitate integration with the wider MetroLink M401 and M402 packages, the DBFOM M500 contract, and other related works, and it may also be employed to procure heavy civil works adjacent to Irish Rail’s Glasnevin station where alignment interfaces are required.

All call‑off contracts will be governed by NEC4 ECC and must incorporate a structured carbon‑performance framework to promote low‑carbon construction methods.

The tender seeks specialist external consultancy support for Stage 2 of the European Traffic Management System (ERTMS) upgrade on High Speed 1. The objective is to resolve key strategic questions and secure consensus on a single, coherent delivery strategy that replaces the obsolete TVM430 signalling system.

The assessment will consider benefits, costs, deliverability and operational impacts, and will ensure compliance with paragraphs A.6 to A.11 of the latest Rail Network Enhancements Pipeline guidance to enable progression to the next phase.

The engagement, set for a six‑month period with potential extensions for on‑site surveys, requires the consultant to produce a long‑list and short‑list of options across technical, commercial, and funding dimensions, and to deliver a project schedule through to handover to maintenance. All outputs must support unanimous stakeholder agreement on the selected project delivery strategy and enable the HS1 regulatory framework to move forward with the ERTMS implementation. The final solution must comply with ERTMS specifications and HS1 regulatory standards for high‑speed rail signalling.
