Ireland – Buses and coaches – Qualification System for the Purchase and or Lease of Buses and Coaches

Bus Éireann has established a five-year Qualification System for the purchase and/or lease of low-emission and zero-emission buses and coaches, divided into four lots: Purchase of Expressway Coaches, Lease of Expressway Coaches, Purchase of School Buses and Coaches, and Lease of School Buses and Coaches. The system requires completion of a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) and qualification does not guarantee contracts. The overall estimated value is €120,000,000, but per-lot values are inconsistently reported. The notice provides limited detail on selection and award criteria.
