Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Cardiff Central Enhancements Project (Phase 1 Design) was undertaken by Transport for Wales, a body governed by public law located in Pontypridd, United Kingdom. The project predominantly falls under the industry category of construction work for buildings relating to railway transport. It aims to enhance the capacity and passenger experience at Cardiff Central Station through various upgrades. The tender was conducted using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, under a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Framework. The procurement stage has reached completion, with BAM Construct UK awarded the contract valued at £10.4 million, signed on 1st September 2025. The tender successfully navigated transport constraints in the UK, specifically targeting the Cardiff region.

The Cardiff Central Enhancements Project represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in civil engineering, particularly those with experience in transportation infrastructure. The focus on quality and price as award criteria signifies a fair competitive environment where expertise and cost-effectiveness are highly valued. Large companies, such as BAM Construct UK, which fulfilled the contract requirements, would be well-suited to future opportunities in this arena. Although this particular tender has been completed, similar future projects could entice businesses looking to expand their portfolios within the railway construction sector in the UK. Those capable of providing high-quality services at competitive prices stand to benefit from engaging in such public procurements.
