Planning Information
Transport for Wales (TfW) is seeking to engage with suitably experienced professional services suppliers ahead of the development of an upcoming professional services opportunity. The purpose of the engagement is to support early market shaping and to better understand supplier capability, delivery models, commercial considerations, and the most effective way to structure the future opportunity. The engagement will be carried out through a co-design approach, tailored to a professional services market audience. TfW is particularly interested in hearing from professional suppliers who can contribute to shaping a future procurement approach that is practical, proportionate, and attractive to the market.
