Buyer: National Transport Authority
Country: IE
Region: IRELAND
Contract type: Supplies
Procedure: Negotiated without a prior call for competition
CPV classification: 30123100 | 30144200 | 34980000 | 50316000 | 50317000
Estimated value: 1500000 EUR

Technical requirements: The Authority requires additional deliveries from the original supplier, Parkeon Transit Limited, which are intended both as a partial replacement of, and extension to, existing supplies (on-board ticketing equipment and supporting IT infrastructure for a number of PSO operators appointed under public service contracts with the Authority). A change of supplier would oblige the Authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance, in particular with regard to integration into, and maintaining stability in, existing Authority operating environments and systems. The additional deliveries envisaged by this notice are intended as an interim solution, as the Authority intends to separately progress a procurement for a next generation ticketing solution.
It should be noted that the actual value of this contract is not known as it will depend on the exact volume of additional supplies that become necessary. Therefore the figure included in section II.1.7 is an estimate only and should not be taken as a definitive indication or guarantee of the actual value of the contract or the actual volume of supplies that will be purchased thereunder.
