Summary of the contracting process

Translink, based in Belfast, is initiating a market engagement for the procurement of Road/Rail Plant and Equipment, relevant to the rail infrastructure upgrades in Northern Ireland. This exercise is currently in the planning stage and aims to gather insights to inform future procurement strategies. Interested suppliers are required to express their interest by emailing Mike Kerr at michael.kerr@translink.co.uk no later than 12th November 2021. Following this engagement, Translink may proceed with a competitive tender process, contingent on financial approvals, under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016.

Engaging in this preliminary market research can enable suppliers to align their offerings with Translink's upcoming requirements and ultimately secure contracts for supplying essential resources to support ongoing and future rail projects.
