The contract, valued at £400,500, will encompass the creation of two main timetable productions annually and additional smaller productions as required. The contract period is set to start on 1st February 2025 and end on 31st December 2027, with an optional one-year renewal. The primary location for delivery is within the UK South West region (UKK).

The negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition suggests a selective procurement method, signalling that GWR is interested in high-quality submissions from capable suppliers who can handle variable and potentially high-volume printing tasks. This is an excellent opportunity for firms looking to establish or expand their footprint in the railway services sector.
