Summary of the contracting process

Translink, the public transport provider in Belfast, Northern Ireland, has completed the procurement process for the "P-2937 Provision of Vehicle Recovery Services 2024". This procurement, classified under the services industry and specifically coded as breakdown and recovery services for cars (CPV: 50118100), required a contractor to provide a 24/7 roadside recovery service for buses and commercial vehicles across Northern Ireland, with occasional services in Ireland and Scotland, for 364 days a year. The open procedure culminated in an award on 25th September 2024 to AGNEW RECOVERY SERVICES LIMITED. The initial contract duration is for five years beginning in November 2024, with potential extensions of up to two additional years. The procurement stage was marked as complete with a contract value of £923,100 GBP.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for specialised vehicle recovery service providers, particularly those with the capacity for 24/7 operations and the necessary licences. Businesses experienced in complex recovery situations, such as those with no direct road access, would find this contract highly beneficial for growth. SMEs specialising in vehicle recovery services in the regions of Northern Ireland, as well as parts of Ireland and Scotland, are well-suited to this procurement, which promises significant operational scale and long-term collaboration with a major public transport authority like Translink.
