## Summary

Translink, a public undertaking governed by Northern Irish devolved regulations, is initiating a pre-market engagement for the supply of cab radio handsets, with an estimated gross value of £50,000. This procurement process falls within the category of goods, particularly accessories for sound, video equipment, radio telephones, and walkie-talkies. The engagement period began on 16th April 2025, with submissions being accepted until 8th May 2025.

The open competition procurement method and below-threshold nature make it accessible for small and medium-sized enterprises to compete and showcase their capabilities in meeting Translink's requirements.
