Scope as published

Göng og brú ohf. is a State-owned public limited company established under the Infrastructure Company Act No. 70/2026. The company’s purpose is to deliver large transport infrastructure projects of national economic importance in Iceland and to secure their financing and faster delivery. Its role is to own, finance, build, maintain and operate the transport infrastructure it takes on, to collect road tolls, to ensure the financial sustainability of its projects, and to ensure professional preparation and risk management of its investment decisions. As its first major appointment, Göng og brú seeks to appoint a Client Side Support Team (CSST) to act as its client-side advisory partner across the full lifecycle of its programme, from early development and feasibility through construction, commissioning, maintenance and operations. The initial portfolio comprises Sundabraut, the Hvalfjarðargöng second bore and the Ölfusárbrú project, which involves a forward financing arrangement for a new bridge already under construction. Further projects may be added to the portfolio over time. The CSST will provide the breadth and depth of expertise required for Göng og brú to act as an informed and capable client, including support for the programme’s digital strategy and an understanding of Icelandic geological and geotechnical conditions. The CSST must maintain an exclusive client-side position, free from participation in the programme’s supply chain, during the contract term. Key personnel may be required to be based in Iceland. The contract has an initial term of five years, extendable by up to five further periods of three years each, giving a maximum total term of 20 years. The scope of services of the CSST includes, but is not limited to, design and planning support, programme and project management, procurement and contract management support, cost, schedule and risk management, technical oversight, and related commercial, financial, digital, environmental and safety advisory services. The full description of the indicative scope of services is set out in the “CSST Scope of Services” in Appendix D to the PIM document. Regarding the Programme: Candidates should note that it is not anticipated that the Consultant will have a significant role in Ölfusárbrú. The Purchaser may choose to include further projects in the Contract by giving written notice to the Consultant.
