Short description:

Iarnród Éireann (IÉ) have an on-going requirement for regular deliveries of AdBlue® to a number of nationwide locations to support its day to day operations. The deliveries are primarily required to be delivered in bulk, however there are a number of smaller requirements for 200 Litre Barrels, 1,000 Litre IBC, and 10 Litre Drums. IÉ’s requirements will grow over the life of the agreement as new railcars are entered into revenue service.

Bulk deliveries will eventually be required at the following locations.

o Hueston Station (2 x 50,000 Litre Capacity)

o Portloaise Traincare Depot (2 x 50,000 Litre Capacity)

o Limerick Depot (1 x 50,000 Litre Capacity)

(a) It is anticipated that for the remainder of 2021, there will be a requirement for approximately 10,000 Litres per month to be delivered to both Hueston Station and Portloaise Traincare Depot.

(b) It is anticipated that for 2022, there will be a requirement for approximately 10,000 litres per month to be delivered to both Hueston Station and Portloaise Traincare Depot; and that from June onwards, as 41 new railcars are delivered and commissioned that further deliveries will be required.

(c) It is anticipated that for 2023, 2024 and 2025 that there will be a requirement for monthly deliveries to all 7 locations commensurate with the consumption rates experienced, and utilising the storage capacity available at each location.

Non-Bulk Deliveries

Non-bulk deliveries will also be required at the following locations.

(d) Rosslare Europort (Quarterly Delivery of 60 x 10 Litre Cans/Drums)

(e) Ballina Freight Yard (Currently Quarterly Deliveries of 4 x 200 Litre Barrels, however will transfer to bulk deliveries to IBC over the life of the agreement).

Ad-Hoc Deliveries

IÉ are seeking to procure the services of a single supplier to fulfil all of its requirements over the term of the contract, and as such, should any ad-hoc or new requirements present themselves over the term of the agreement, it is not the intention of IÉ to re-access the market. Ad-hoc deliveries may be in bulk, or non-bulk.

IÉ are seeking to engage with a single supplier with a nationwide distribution network, and who has a secure access to the required products so that they can guarantee deliveries to all physical locations, and with short lead-times.

IÉ anticipate that the full contract value will range from anywhere between €400,000 and €600,000 (depending on consumption rates) however the final contract value may exceed the higher end of the anticipated contract value should additional railcars be procured over the term of the agreement.
