What is being bought

Published requirement description

Translink's Infrastructure and Projects Division is responsible for maintenance and capital works to all property, infrastructure and assets for Northern Ireland Railways Company, Ulsterbus, Metro and NITHC and wish to establish a Framework for the provision of Rail on-site safety services to support the delivery of Translink’s programme of capital and maintenance works. Translink wish to appoint seven (excluding ties) Suppliers onto the Framework. It is anticipated that five (5) of the Suppliers will be on an active list with the remaining two (2) Suppliers on a reserve list. In the event of the number of successful Suppliers being five (5) or under, all Suppliers will be placed on the active list. The duration of this Framework will be a maximum of 6 years in total - a 3-year initial term with the option to extend by a further 36 months. No individual single extension will be granted for a period longer than 24 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.
  • “FW100 Rail On-site Safety” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 7 suppliers, not a single contract.

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