UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Wales Rail Limited, a sub-central government public authority located in Pontypridd, United Kingdom, initiated a procurement process for the "Mk4 OH2 Minus and Corrosion Repair" project in the transport services industry category. Initially active on 15th August 2025, this tender aimed to address the maintenance and corrosion repair of railway equipment, with proposals due by 30th September 2025. However, due to non-compliance, the tender was cancelled on 9th December 2025. The procurement process employed an open procedure, complying with UK-wide and devolved Welsh regulations, and was intended to culminate in a three-year contract starting from November 2025.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in railway repair and maintenance services, particularly those with the capacity for large-scale projects and experience in compliance with public sector procurement rules. Companies capable of delivering quality and cost-effective solutions could have competed effectively in this open procurement process, potentially benefitting from a substantial contract valued at approximately GBP 7.5 million. The cancellation indicates a continuous demand for similar services, suggesting businesses should remain attentive to future opportunities within Transport for Wales Rail Limited's procurement activities.
