If the extension option is exercised, the contract will be re-advertised in 2029.

Description of options:

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.

… 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.
