## Summary

Translink bought parts for its Volvo vehicle fleet, including vehicle and engine parts and accessories. The requirement supports the maintenance and operation of the organisation’s fleet. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The purchase is goods supply rather than works or a service contract. Five suppliers were selected to supply the requirement, indicating that Translink divided supply across multiple providers, although the published lot information identifies a single lot. The scope is specifically Volvo vehicle parts; the classifications also refer to buses and coaches and to other transport equipment and spare parts. The contracting buyer is Translink, the public transport undertaking serving Northern Ireland.

The procurement is complete and five suppliers were awarded contracts through a competitive flexible procedure using a selective process. The award date was 13 October 2026. Each contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030. Ballymena Engines Spares Limited was awarded £420,000 excluding VAT (£504,000 including VAT); Dennison Commercials Limited, £713,000 (£855,600 including VAT); Engine & Truck (N.I.) Limited, £726,000 (£871,200 including VAT); Filtration Control Ltd., £776,000 (£931,200 including VAT); and Partline Limited, £351,000 (£421,200 including VAT). There was one lot. The procurement data records 14 bids, including 12 from small and medium-sized enterprises. The evaluation criteria are not described in the published process data.

This award shows a recurring requirement for suppliers able to source and supply a broad range of Volvo vehicle parts and accessories for a public transport fleet. Five suppliers were appointed, including several small and medium-sized businesses, so the requirement was within reach of specialist parts businesses as well as larger commercial vehicle suppliers. A credible competitor would need dependable access to Volvo-compatible parts, the ability to fulfil fleet maintenance needs across the United Kingdom, and capacity to support a sustained supply arrangement rather than occasional orders. The multiple awards suggest Translink used several suppliers for the same overall requirement; firms should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable fulfilment and a clear parts supply capability. The process attracted 14 bids, indicating competition from a substantial pool of interested suppliers.
