Background
IÉ has an operational fleet of Diesel Multiple Unit’s (DMU) and Intercity ‘Push Pull’ trainsets equipped with diesel main traction engines and generating sets (together referred to as “the engines”).
IÉ has a requirement for a specialist service provider to undertake planned overhaul work, and unplanned repairs, on the engines.
IÉ are seeking high quality, all-inclusive overhaul and repair services, which will build on the current reliability levels and which result in improvements where possible. Technical innovation and product enhancement will be encouraged and high level warranty support between overhaul events will be essential.
All engines will be overhauled to an agreed programme, and the installation and removal from the vehicle will not from part of the final scope of requirements.
The term of the agreement will be for an initial period of 5 years, with an option to extend by an additional 2 year period.

[OptionsDescr]:
IÉ may extend the initial 5 year agreement by a further 2 years.
UTEX engines may be included in the final specification instead of an engine overhaul, provided any UTEX supplied is an identical reconditioned and warranted serviceable spare exchanged in replacement for a used complete engine or generator set.
There may be a requirement for the supply of Long Block engines, and associated dressing kits, to be provided in place of overhauling a number (or all) of the 29000 DMU Main Traction engines. This option may form part of the core requirement of the agreement.
There may be a requirement for the supply of genuine OEM parts for both Cummins and MAN engines, for use to support IÉ. The volume of spare parts will depend on the final number of Long Block engines purchased over the life of the agreement.
There may be a requirement for technical labour to be provided to support the respective depots as part of the planned preventative maintenance activities.
IÉ will be seeking to conclude any agreement on the basis of the best technical commercial and technical offering, which may include alternative warranty offerings (e.g. event to event, fixed term etc.)
Overhaul of electrical alternators may form part of the core requirements.
