About

Translink is seeking a supplier for a fit-for-purpose road/rail recovery vehicle for use on the Northern Ireland Railways network. The vehicle must be available and ready to be actioned in response to a major safety accident or incident on the railway and must carry a full suite of safe, lightweight tooling stored within the vehicle for prompt response; the tooling must be suitable for current and future rolling stock. The initial contract period is three years with possible extensions of up to 12 months.

Insight

This could be ideal for manufacturers and suppliers of road-rail recovery and railway maintenance/service vehicles and providers of integrated tooling systems. Key considerations are demonstrating rapid deployment readiness and providing a certified, safe, lightweight tooling package compatible with current and future rolling stock, and meeting the contract’s initial 3-year term with potential 12-month extension.
