    Brief

    Northern Ireland Railways Company Ltd (NI Railways) invites qualified suppliers to design, manufacture, deliver, install, test, and commission replacement train wash systems at two operational Belfast rail maintenance facilities: Fortwilliam Train Care Facility and York Road Depot. Background: The existing train wash systems have reached end-of-life and no longer meet cleaning performance requirements. New systems must support current rolling stock (CAF Class 3000 and 4000, existing Enterprise fleet) and accommodate the future Stadler FLIRT Enterprise fleet. Key Scope: Design and supply of a bi-directional train wash system at Fortwilliam and a standard system at York Road; decommissioning and removal of existing equipment; structural and utility verification; wash pad and plant room adaptation; installation of mechanical, electrical, control, and compressed air systems; PLC-based controls and safety systems; comprehensive testing and commissioning; operator training; and five years of technical support and spare parts availability. Requirements: Suppliers must have demonstrated experience in rail infrastructure projects, depot-based construction, mechanical and electrical installations, and safe working practices within live operational railway environments. Work will be coordinated with Translink representatives, Principal Designers, and specialist contractors while maintaining full operational railway safety.
