Standard Cable Team wins Irish Rail eurobalise cable award with €1.35m estimated value (framework ceiling)

Iarnród Eireann-Irish Rail has awarded its eurobalise cable procurement to STANDARD CABLE TEAM. The award record is dated 21 October 2026 and lists €1,350,000 estimated value (framework ceiling).

The figure is a framework ceiling, not evidence of expenditure or a guaranteed order value.

What the award covers

The award notice record identifies the procurement as “8110-84A Supply of eurobalise cable”. Its lot is titled “Supply of Signalling Cable”, with the description “Supply of eurobalise cable”.

The available record does not disclose the number of bids or award criteria. It therefore does not support a comparison of competing bids or an explanation of how the supplier was selected.

Irish Rail's wider award record

TenderMatch's buyer summary records 205 awards for Irish Rail over the past 12 months. It reports €2,327,334.74 in disclosed contract values and, separately, €30,812,234.21 in framework ceilings. These categories should not be combined into a spending total: contract values describe awards, while framework ceilings describe potential procurement capacity. Neither establishes actual payments.

The leading suppliers by recorded award count include Dixon Bros.(Agriculture and Plant), with 36 awards; Breffni Group, with 16; and CWS Communications LTD, with 15. These are rankings by award count, not by spending.
