What the buyer is looking for
This is a call to competition by IE for the establishment of a Qualification System (QS) for the supply and delivery of synthetic railway sleepers (the “Contract”). The QS will be established for a period of five (5) years from the date of notification letter issue. Applicants may apply for inclusion at any stage during the life of the QS. Iarnród Éireann – Irish Rail “IE” has the requirement for the supply and delivery of synthetic railway sleepers, that may arise on an ad-hoc basis. The exact requirements will be issued with each future tender. Those companies successfully appointed to the QS will receive all future tender enquiries. This is envisioned to be by mini competition.
