[DescrShort]
The National Transport Authority (NTA) is seeking to enter into a single supplier framework agreement for the supply of midi buses, being short single deck bus vehicles.
While the NTA intends to acquire midi buses from the successful tenderer who is awarded the Framework Agreement, it intends to provide those vehicles 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 Bus Átha Cliath (Dublin Bus), Bus Eireann and the successful tenderer (or tenderers) in a number of on-going tender competitions for the operation of certain PSO Services. As part of the provision of bus vehicles 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.
