TRANSLINK

There is 1 contract in this contracting process.

Summary of the contracting process

Translink, a public undertaking operating under Northern Irish devolved regulations, is in the planning stage of a procurement process for non-personalised pre-printed smartcards. This initiative aims to engage suitable suppliers for input to inform future procurement decisions. Suppliers can respond to a questionnaire, with submissions due by 12:00 on 19th June 2025. Located in Belfast, Translink is inviting suppliers to partake in this Pre-Market Engagement exercise, not as a call for tender, but to assist in shaping the procurement strategy. The procurement falls within the goods category, specifically targeting the production of ID, magnetic, and smart cards, with prospective delivery across the United Kingdom.

Businesses participating in this Pre-Market Engagement have an opportunity to influence Translink’s procurement strategy and potentially become a preferred partner for future contracts starting from May 2026. Companies specialising in card manufacturing, particularly those experienced in smart technologies, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging at this stage allows businesses to showcase their abilities, align their offerings with Translink's needs, and build a relationship with a major buyer in the utilities sector. This could be particularly beneficial for suppliers looking to expand their presence in the Northern Irish and broader UK market.
