Title : Supply of Rolling Stock Dampers
Description : Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) wishes to procure a long-term supply contract for multiple rolling stock damper component types. Over the next 8 years, IÉ estimates that over 2,000 damper units will be required annually across 15 different damper types (i.e. Yaw, Lateral, Vertical, Transversal and Pantograph) to cover both heavy maintenance and casualty repair activities. is the intention of IÉ to award contracts in lots for the supply of dampers on the basis of fleet type, so that dampers are fitted in pairs for consistency.
