Supply and Delivery of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles for Irish Wheelchair Association

The Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA), Ireland's leading organisation serving people with physical disabilities with 20,000 members and extensive national operations, seeks to procure 2 wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) for immediate delivery to sites in Tipperary and Galway. Required specifications: vehicles must accommodate a driver plus up to 4 additional passengers with one wheelchair deployed, or a driver plus up to 6 passengers without wheelchairs. Acceptable models include Ford Connect or comparable alternatives meeting these capacity requirements. The successful supplier must provide visual specification checks and arrange test drives of proposed vehicles prior to delivery. IWA reserves the discretionary option to purchase up to 4 additional vehicles within 12 months of contract award, based on pricing submitted in the tender, with no obligation to exercise this option. A single service provider will be selected for this contract. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate vehicle specifications, coordinate logistics across multiple Irish locations, and support the evaluation process.
