A full listing of IÉ’s current filters can be found in the attached document ‘IÉ_Filters_Listing_August_2021’.

A full listing of IÉ’s current filters can be found in the attached document ‘IÉ_Filters_Listing_August_2021’. IÉ may not be in a position to consider alternative makes/models of filters on the basis that (a) the required testing and engineering change process for any alternative product would oblige Iarnród Éireann to acquire equipment having technical characteristics different from those of existing equipment, resulting in disproportionate costs given the relatively low expenditure on each filter type; and (b) the current warranty provided under IÉ’s engine maintenance contractor may be invalidated.
A key deliverable under the proposed agreement will be for the successful tenderer to provide, or have access to, technical support from the filter OEM to assist IÉ introduce product improvements, or participate in investigations, over the life of the agreement, should they be required.
IÉ anticipate expenditure exceeding €100,000 per annum across the full filtration requirements.
