Metalworking

Tender description

Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) wish to establish a qualification system (QS) for the provision of metal fabrication services. Metal fabrication services are required to support the ongoing maintenance of the rolling stock fleet and general infrastructure (railings, station maintenance, etc.) for both preventative maintenance and modification works. IÉ spend in the region of 200 000 EUR per annum on metal fabrication services with the vast majority of requirements costing between 1 000 EUR and 3 000 EUR. On occasion, larger requirements may present themselves however it is envisaged that any requirement larger than 100 000 EUR would be tendered separately. All requirements between 500 EUR and 50 000 EUR will be issued to a number (between 3 and 5) of companies participating in the qualification system and will be based on their listed experience and their geographical location in proximity to where the requirement is needed. All requirements between 50 001 EUR and 100 000 EUR will be issued to all companies participating in the qualification system. This QS was originally advertised as a framework agreement (eTenders Reference 99761 and TED Reference 2015/S 189-343537) however due to the relatively low expenditure and infrequent nature of the IÉ requirements, this requirement has been changed to a QS. Companies who have already submitted a PQQ as part of the framework agreement do not need to reapply.
