Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by First Greater Western Limited focuses on providing a decarbonisation additive for diesel trains, classified under the railway transport services category. The process relates to railway services in the UK, specifically in the South West region (UKK). This open procedure procurement progressed to the award stage, with a contract signed on 16th May 2025. The procurement aimed to reduce emissions in the GWR diesel fleet, and the initial tender, titled "Decarbonisation Additive," underwent various updates and amendments before reaching completion. Notably, the notable contract period is 1,080 days, emphasising long-term commitments to enhancing the GWR network's sustainability.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of chemical additives and infrastructure installation to support diesel fleet enhancements. Companies specialising in petroleum, coal, and oil products, as well as those capable of integrating monitoring equipment and infrastructure at multiple engineering depots, would be well-suited to compete in this procurement. The expansive nature of the project across multiple sites from Penzance to Reading further amplifies the business growth potential for suppliers within the regional transport services industry. Moreover, adherence to electronic submission and invoicing policies indicates a modern procurement process, favourable to technologically adept firms wanting to expand their footprint in public sector contracts.
