Iarnród Éireann, as the national railway operator in Ireland, is seeking to procure an Emergency Response Solution (ERS) that will enhance the management of a rail incident by the relevant business functions through to resolution and the restoration of service. These functions include the Infrastructure Management Office (IMO) and the National Train Control Centre (NTCC).

The procurement process for the award of this Contract consists of two distinct stages: a pre-qualification stage and a tender stage (or award stage).
