Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of spare and replacement parts from Econ Engineering Limited, specifically for their gritting vehicles. This contract, valued at £270,000, falls under the category of engine parts and was awarded through a Direct Award Contract due to the exclusive rights held by Econ Engineering for these specific parts. The contractual period began on 1st February 2018 and will run until 23rd January 2021. This procurement was initiated on 31st January 2018, with key documents published on 19th April 2018.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in automotive parts and services, particularly those with capabilities in manufacturing or supplying engine parts tailored to specific vehicle models. While the contract has already been awarded to Econ Engineering, it highlights the potential for future contracts or partnerships in the public sector for businesses that can offer bespoke solutions or have the ability to maintain and service specialised equipment such as gritting vehicles. Companies looking to expand into this sector should consider their capacity to meet similar specifications and compliance with public procurement processes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply of Spare and Replacement Parts from Econ Engineering Limited

Notice Description

DfI Roads provide winter service maintenance duties using a gritting fleet of 133 vehicles. 26 vehicles are held as strategic spare vehicles. 96 vehicles have gritting bodies manufactured by Econ Engineering Limited. Throughout the duration of the vehicle's life, components and hardware fail due to wear, damage or fatigue. Failed components and hardware must be replaced to ensure that winter service gritting functions can be completed. Direct Award Contract (DAC) is due to Econ Engineering owning the exclusive rights to its gritting bodies and parts. Econ Engineering does not operate a distribution network for spares and replacement parts. The parts are specific to Econ and cannot be supplied by any other company therefore these key replacement parts must be obtained directly from Econ Engineering Ltd.
