Those operators include Bus Átha Cliath (Dublin Bus) and the successful tenderer (or tenderers) in a number of ongoing tender competitions for the operation of certain PSO Services. As part of the provision of bus vehicles to the NTA, the Supplier will be required to enter into collateral agreements with the nominated operator in relation to vehicle warranties and other matters.
