UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

DfI Transport and Road Asset Management (TRAM), part of the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland, is buying two 4x4 wheeled loaders. This is a supply and delivery requirement for construction, road maintenance or related material-handling operations, classified under CPV 34144710. The loaders must be delivered to 190A Larne Road Link, Ballymena, County Antrim, BT42 3HA. The requirement is for goods rather than works or an ongoing service, so relevant suppliers are manufacturers, dealers, distributors or specialist plant-equipment businesses able to provide two suitable 4x4 wheeled loaders and arrange delivery to the specified Ballymena site. The procurement is being run by the central government transport and road asset management function in Northern Ireland.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with tenders submitted electronically through the relevant Call for Tender opportunity. Questions could be submitted until 21 August 2026 at 23:59, and tenders were due by 31 August 2026 at 23:59. The buyer expected to finalise the award by 16 September 2026 at 23:59. The single lot covers a contract running from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2027. Its estimated value is £270,000 excluding VAT, or £324,000 including VAT. The contract is suitable for SMEs. Price is the sole evaluation criterion, weighted at 100%. Economic selection criteria are recorded as N/A; technical requirements are set out in the tender documentation.

This opportunity suits suppliers with direct access to 4x4 wheeled loaders, whether through manufacture, dealership, distribution or specialist plant-equipment supply. Bidders need the capability to provide two units that meet the technical requirements in the tender documentation and to deliver them to the specified site in Ballymena. The requirement is particularly relevant to businesses that routinely supply construction, highways, civil engineering or road-maintenance plant, and that can manage a two-unit order within the stated contract arrangements. SMEs are explicitly considered suitable to compete. Because the award is based entirely on price, suppliers able to offer compliant equipment and competitive pricing are well placed. The tender is for physical equipment supply and delivery, rather than operation, maintenance or a broader managed service.
