# Technical consultancy for the Port Access Northern Cross Route Phase 3

Louth County Council is procuring a multidisciplinary, engineering-led consultancy team for the Port Access Northern Cross Route (PANCR) Phase 3. The consultancy is to provide engineering and appraisal services through procurement, construction and closeout. The underlying project includes approximately 1.08 km of new carriageway, a rail underbridge approximately 10.5 m wide and 20 m long, and ancillary works. The official eTenders page identifies an open public contract, a 30-month duration, a €1.5 million estimated value and the Most Economically Advantageous Tender evaluation mechanism; it says the contract is not divided into lots. The page displays a 2 November 2026 12:00 deadline without a timezone. The available notice information separately gives 12:00 UTC, which is used as the precise timestamp without converting the page display.
