## Description
Translink wishes to procure a solution to carry out safety critical overhauls on the Main Traction Unit engine, bogies, and pneumatic systems on the Multi-Purpose Vehicle.
The Windhoff Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) entered service in 2017. The double ended vehicle is designed primarily to apply sandite and use high pressure water jets on the rail to improve adhesion. However, the design is modular, allowing the swapping of equipment to undertake other work, including weed spraying.
To allow the MPV to operate in a safe and efficient manner, aging components require replacing at scheduled intervals as per the manufacturer’s recommendation. This will ensure maintenance costs are kept low, reliability and availability of the vehicle remains high, and the operational life of the vehicle will be met. 
To that end Translink wishes to undertake premarket engagement consultations with interested suppliers conducted via Microsoft Teams. If you are an interested, please confirm in writing to Robin Winsby at robin.winsby@translink.co.uk by close of business Friday 01 November 2024.
