Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Wales, a sub-central public authority under Welsh devolved regulations, has entered the planning stage of a procurement process for the Caerphilly Interchange project. The procurement pertains to engineering and construction works, with an estimated contract value of £33.6 million, excluding taxes. The project is located in the United Kingdom and is structured under the works procurement category. The planned phase began on 5th December 2025, with a future notice scheduled for 1st April 2026. The actual contract period is set to commence on 1st September 2026 and conclude by 1st December 2028.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in engineering and construction sectors. Companies with expertise in large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly those experienced in delivering complex construction tasks, would be well-suited to compete. Given the substantial budget and the scope of works involved, mid to large-sized firms with adequate resources and capacity to manage long-term projects are likely to benefit from participating in the competitive tendering process.
