Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "FW109 Ballast Rehabilitation Establishment Programme Framework" is led by Translink, a buying organisation based in Belfast, United Kingdom. The project falls under the urban railway works industry category and involves the establishment of a framework for the operation, maintenance, and management of a Ballast Cleaner System. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender deadline set for December 18th, 2023. The contracting authority is seeking suppliers to support their capital and maintenance works programme, with a total contract value of 150 million GBP for a 6-year term.

This tender opportunity from Translink presents an attractive prospect for businesses operating in the railway construction and urban railway works sectors, particularly those with expertise in the maintenance and management of railway infrastructure.
