Other Information

Your response must be submitted via the relevant Call for Tender (CfT) on the eTendersNI portal. Instructions on how to submit your response can be found within the Interactive Walkthrough on the eTendersNI Homepage. No other method of submission will be accepted. Translink has identified some issues with the tender/contract documents that were provided to all economic . operators. These issues include misalignment between Translink’s requirements/objectives . and some of the information that was contained within the tender/contract documents and . some areas where Translink’s requirements may potentially have been open to different . interpretations by bidders. As a result, and bearing in mind its obligations to ensure a fair and . transparent process in line with the requirements of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016, . Translink has no option but to terminate the procurement process. Therefore, this competition . will not result in the award of a framework.
