Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Wales Rail Limited, a sub-central public authority based in Pontypridd, has completed the procurement process for the purchase of 150 Class 230 Monoblock Wheel Pans, including spares, under a direct award contract. The procurement falls under the procurement category of goods, specifically within the railway and tramway locomotives and associated parts industry sector. The direct award was justified due to extreme and unavoidable urgency, with the process being finalised on 20th August 2025. The procurement contract amounts to approximately £183,885, and it spans from 15th August to 29th August 2025.

This contract presents potential business growth opportunities for companies specialising in railway and transport equipment manufacturing and supply. A large-scale supplier like Pullman Rail Ltd, which has the necessary inventory and logistical capabilities, is well-suited to fulfil such urgent contracts. This procurement underscores the demand within the railway sector for reliable parts suppliers capable of meeting short lead times and maintaining inventory levels to accommodate urgent requirements. Businesses with robust supply chain systems and capabilities to handle urgency in delivery may find similar opportunities in this sector valuable for growth and expansion.

The urgency is unavoidable if it is not attributable to any act or omission of the contracting authority, and could not have been foreseen by the contracting authority.
