The requirement covers unloading, storage, erection, installation supervision, testing, commissioning, staff training and acceptance. The equipment will be installed on No. 3 Road within the Maintenance Facility at York Road (Running) depot. This is a goods procurement for railway rolling-stock and lifting or handling equipment. The opportunity is relevant to suppliers of rail depot equipment, heavy lifting systems, industrial engineering products and associated control systems that can provide an integrated supply, installation and commissioning service rather than equipment supply alone. Translink is a public undertaking operating under Northern Irish devolved procurement regulations. The procurement has reached tender: Translink invited offers through an open procedure. Supplier enquiries were due by 17 September 2026 at 23:59, and offers were due by 24 September 2026 at 23:59. The anticipated award decision period ends on 30 November 2026. The estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT. The single lot covers the full requirement. Evaluation is based on the most economically advantageous tender, weighted 70% technical quality and 30% cost. The contract is scheduled to run from 31 December 2026 to 30 November 2028, with renewal permitted for any period up to a total of 24 additional months, subject to a maximum extent date of 31 December 2030. Electronic submission is allowed in English. This opportunity suits an engineering or specialist lifting-equipment supplier able to deliver a complete rail-depot solution. Strong candidates will be able to design and manufacture or fabricate carriage lifting jacks and their control systems, provide accessories, and manage delivery, unloading and storage. The work also requires practical installation capability, including erection and supervision, followed by testing, commissioning, acceptance and training for Translink staff. Suppliers should therefore have the project management capacity to coordinate equipment manufacture, logistics, site installation and operational handover in a maintenance-facility environment. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Bidders must satisfy the economic and technical selection requirements set out in the tender documents, making relevant industrial, rail, lifting-equipment or systems-integration experience commercially pertinent. ## Notice This Contract is for the design, fabrication/manufacture, supply & delivery, unloading, storage, erection and installation, supervision of installation, testing, commissioning, staff training and acceptance at the York Road (Running) depot of lifting Jacks and control system complete with accessories on No3 Road within the Maintenance Facility. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Any period up to and including a total of 24 months ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078106-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 24 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Dec 2026 - 30 Nov 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | Lots value | £2,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Translink | | Locality | BELFAST | | Postcode area | Northern Ireland | | Postcode | BT2 7LX | | Country | Northern Ireland | | ITL 1 | TLN Northern Ireland | | ITL 2 | TLN0 Northern Ireland | | ITL 3 | TLN06 Belfast | | Local authority | Belfast | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Belfast South and Mid Down | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 34600000 - Railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts - 42400000 - Lifting and handling equipment and parts ## Release History - 17 Aug 2026 at 12:56 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078106-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/078106-2026 17th August 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://etendersni.gov.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
