[DescrShort]
The Contracting Authority is seeking to enter into a single supplier framework agreement for the supply of single-deck (long length) electric buses.
While the Contracting Authority intends to acquire single-deck (long length) electric buses from the successful tenderer who is awarded the Framework Agreement, it intends to provide those buses to the operators of subvented public transport services, known as Public Service Obligation services, to operate in the performance of those services. Those operators include Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann, Go-Ahead Ireland and City Direct. Other operators may also operate in the performance of those services in future. As part of the provision of buses to the Contracting Authority, the Supplier will be required to enter into collateral agreements with the nominated operator in relation to vehicle warranties and other matters.
