Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the “Services IT System Development – Business Analysis Call-Off Contract” was initiated by Transport for Wales Rail Limited, a railway services organisation based in Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf. This contract, classified under systems and technical consultancy services, was completed as of 6th February 2026. The primary aim was to procure specialist business analysis and IT consultancy services to support the development of a bespoke IT system for Rail Replacement Services. The procurement method used was limited, executed through an award procedure without prior publication under the ESPO 3S_22 framework, making it a call-off contract. The process did not include inviting competitive bids, as it fell outside the directive's application scope.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consultancy, systems integration, and business analysis. Given the nature of the services involved, firms with capabilities in handling system design, stakeholder engagement, and project management in the transport sector are particularly well-suited to such contracts. Michael Page International Recruitment Limited, a large-scale supplier, was awarded the contract valued at £75,600. Businesses with expertise in similar technical and consultancy services, especially those accustomed to working within the framework of call-off contracts, might find growth opportunities in aligning their offerings to such specialised procurements in the future.
