## About this tender

Translink wishes to procure on-track machinery to support automatic ballast cleaning on its rail network. The ballast cleaning programme aims to undertake rehabilitation of the Northern Ireland Railways network (circa 300 track miles) over a 15-20-year period. It is anticipated that Automatic Ballast Hoppers, a Tamper, a Regulator and a Ballast plough will be required to support the Ballast Cleaning System. A separate notice has been published for the procurement of the Ballast Cleaning System – Reference 2023/S 000-018060. This notice is to initiate an early market engagement exercise. It does not indicate the start of any formal procurement exercise. The vehicles and equipment must be compatible with the existing and suitable for Northern Ireland gauge (1600mm) track. Translink are seeking expressions of interest from perspective suppliers to provide the Authority with the opportunity to gain feedback from the market.
