UK13 - Dynamic Market Intention Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Translink established a dynamic market for the supply of replacement parts and materials for its bus, coach and support-vehicle fleet. The requirement covers parts and accessories for vehicles and their engines, supplied to support fleet operations across the United Kingdom. It is a goods procurement managed by Translink, the public undertaking based in Belfast, under the utilities regime. The market is intended for vehicle manufacturers, direct suppliers and businesses supplying parts to fleet operating companies. The requirement is grouped into one market category rather than separate product lots. It is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of bus, coach, commercial-vehicle, engine and fleet-support components, including businesses able to provide a broad or specialised range of replacement parts.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the dynamic market is active. Translink used an open procedure to establish a dynamic market, with electronic submission allowed and no submission fee. The market started on 17 June 2026 and is scheduled to run until 16 June 2034; the tender period ends on 19 May 2034. The award date was 17 June 2026. Twenty suppliers were admitted: Qualvecom, Filtration Control, TBF Thompson DAF Trucks, Partline, Fyfes Vehicle & Engineering Supplies, Martin Engineering Supplies, Autoradz, Davy Engineering, Imperial Engineering, Engine & Truck (NI), Wrightbus, Dennison Commercials, LPW (Europe), PSV Transport Systems, Granning Lynx, Heavy Duty Parts, Ballymena Engine Spares, Road Trucks, Ardee Coach Trim and Transport Door Solutions. Selection covered economic and technical criteria set out in the market documents and qualification envelope.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for replacement parts supporting Translink’s bus, coach and support-vehicle fleet, with a wide supplier base admitted to the market. Businesses well placed for future participation would be vehicle manufacturers, direct parts suppliers, fleet-sector distributors and specialist component providers. Credibility depends on meeting the economic and technical selection requirements set out in Translink’s market documents and qualification envelope, and on being able to supply vehicle and engine parts or materials reliably. The successful supplier group includes SMEs, Northern Ireland and wider UK businesses, as well as suppliers from Ireland, indicating that specialist firms can participate alongside broader commercial-vehicle parts businesses. Relevant competitors should assess their product coverage, manufacturer or direct-supply position, technical evidence, financial standing and ability to support fleet operations.
