UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Translink intends to establish a framework for independent environmental services and advice. The work is classified as environmental services (CPV 90700000), for Translink, a public transport undertaking based in Belfast. The procurement is listed under the utilities regime. The planned arrangement concerns one lot, although the specific services and locations where work would be carried out are not described here.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Translink has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The buyer expects to publish a competition notice on eTendersNI and provide suppliers with a pre-market engagement questionnaire to complete and return. The engagement milestone is scheduled for 30 October 2026. A later notice is expected by 30 January 2027; these are indicative planning dates, not bid deadlines. The planned framework is expected to run from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2031, with a possible extension to 30 September 2035. The process is divided into one lot. No estimated contract value or budget is provided.

This framework is relevant to suppliers able to provide independent environmental services and advice to a public transport undertaking. Environmental consultancies and specialist advisers whose work can support Translink’s needs may wish to prepare for the planned market engagement, which is intended to gather supplier input through a questionnaire before the competition notice. The scale and specific technical scope of services, required qualifications or accreditations, and evaluation criteria have not yet been set out in the information available for this planning stage. Suppliers should therefore treat the engagement as a chance to understand and inform the emerging requirement, rather than as a request for tenders. The framework structure may suit providers prepared to deliver services over a multi-year arrangement, including any extension, once the detailed requirements are established.
