EFRP - Train Lifting Jacks for New Enterprise Trains

Before initiating a competitive tender process, NI Railways and Irish Rail aim to engage with the marketplace to gather insights that will shape the sourcing strategy for these contracts and, consequently, the procurement process. It is expected that this procurement exercise will be divided into separate procurement exercises for each type of equipment, which will be confirmed following the premarket engagement and information-gathering phase. We wish to engage with experienced companies who can meet the requirements outlined in this notice and can demonstrate relevant experience delivering projects in a railway environment or demonstrate the ability to deliver products with relevant safety certification for use in a railway environment. Work packages are anticipated to include the following: Controlled Emission Toilet (CET) systems, lifting jacks, underframe component lifting and moving equipment, sand storage and dispensing equipment, train wash, train wheel lathe, and traction battery storage, potentially for both NI Railways and Irish Rail. Interested suppliers should register their interest by emailing their contact details to Ron Stitt at ron.stitt@translink.co.uk. We anticipate holding meetings with interested parties between March 2025 and June 2025.
