What is being bought

Published requirement description

Translink” is establishing a Supplier Framework for the supply of Railway Approved equipment and services to support the delivery of Translink’s programme of capital and maintenance works. The Client’s Infrastructure and Projects Division is responsible for maintenance and capital works to all Railway infrastructure for Northern Ireland Railways Company. The Framework Contract covers the supply and delivery of Railway approved equipment covering Signalling, Telecoms, P-way, Electrical and Plant disciplines. This equipment is specified in industry approved designs produced for Translink during the delivery of its programme of capital works. The Translink stores department maintains a stock level of equipment spares and parts in support of capital projects works and the day to day maintenance of the railway infrastructure. As part of the support the repair, refurbishment and replacement of warranty and non-warranty products supplied under this agreement is required. The Suppliers must be capable of undertaking all elements of the Framework Scope. The Framework will consist of an Active and a Reserve List. The Active List will consist of 1 Supplier, and a Reserve List of 1 Supplier. The duration of this Framework will be a maximum of 8 years in total - a 4-year initial term with the option to extend by a further 48 months. No individual extension will be granted for a period longer than 12 months and any extension will be at the discretion of the Client. Your response must be submitted via the relevant Call for Tender (CfT) on the eTendersNI portal. Instructions on how to submit your response can be found within the Interactive Walkthrough on the eTendersNI Homepage. No other method of submission will be accepted.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework 092 Railway Approved Equipment and Services Supply” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
