Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) is seeking to enter into a supply agreement with a specialist company[s] with a demonstrable track record in the pressing of aluminium components or similar products to facilitate the Pressing of Front-End Panels for its Inter City Railcar [ICR] Fleet.
IÉ wish to start a replacement programme which will be carried out coinciding with the degraded condition of the front-end panels on the trains. As the panels are overdue a replacement on a significant number of ICR lead cars, this will require the removal of the degraded front-end panel from the vehicles and replacing them with new panels.
There is a total of of 63 train sets, 126 lead cars with both a left and right front-end panel and 24 spares. Total of 150 pairs.
