One of the National Roads Authority's strategic goals is to implement the national road improvement programme, ensuring the efficient planning, design and execution of the works and the effective management of projects having regard to approved standards. The Authority wishes to promote quality and consistency of approach in relation to the design and construction of road and bridge projects to achieve an appropriate balance of economy, safety and durability on road schemes.

The Authority has a need for the services of Consulting Engineers in connection with the update and maintenance of the NRA Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) and the NRA Manual for Contract Documents for Road Works (MCDRW), providing a set of comprehensive design standards and specifications.

Further Information on the service requirements are outlined in the APPENDIX to the Information Memorandum.
