Suppliers

You cannot just become a supplier of Infrabel. As a public undertaking Infrabel is required to follow a number of procedures when appointing suppliers.

There are 3 ways to become eligible as a supplier to Infrabel.

  1. You register as a potential supplier via the button in the right-hand column. After screening, you may become eligible for an unpublished tender.
  2. You put yourself forward as a candidate via an announcement on one of the links below.
  3. If you are a supplier of a number of strategic products or services, you can also take part in a qualification procedure. If you are successful, you will be included on our shortlist. This procedure is completely independent of purchasing. As and when these products or services are to be purchased, several of the qualified companies will be consulted. The full procedure is explained below.
