Tender description

Due to the forecasted Translink capital plan of works to deliver rail infrastructure upgrades, improvements, and ongoing maintenance in Northern Ireland, Translink are seeking to identify Economic Operators who have the capability and capacity to manufacture, store and supply concrete railway sleepers. Lot 1: Translink owns, operates and maintains the rail network in Northern Ireland comprising 300 miles of plain line track and 200 sets of switches and crossings. We wish to establish a Framework for the supply of concrete sleepers for plain line track to support the delivery of Translink’s programme of capital and maintenance works.

Sleepers are pre-tensioned prestressed concrete produced to a Translink design for 1600mm track gauge with 1 in 20 rail inclination using Pandrol e-clip fastening arrangements. We would like to receive expressions of interest from suppliers with a proven track record in the manufacture of high quality prestressed concrete products to exacting standards who would be able to produce a minimum of 12,000 sleepers per annum.
