UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Wales Rail Limited bought bogie-moving equipment for its rail operations. This is specialist lifting and handling equipment used to move railway bogies, the wheel-and-axle assemblies beneath rail vehicles. The purchase sits within railway equipment supply and is relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of rail depot machinery, heavy-duty lifting systems and associated equipment. Delivery is in Wales. The procurement is a single equipment requirement rather than a stated programme of wider rail services or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Harmill Systems Ltd. Transport for Wales Rail Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is for one lot of bogie-moving equipment. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £65,500 excluding VAT (£78,600 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. No competitive evaluation or award criteria are recorded for this direct purchase.

This award shows demand from Transport for Wales Rail for specialist equipment that can move heavy rail bogies safely and support railway maintenance or depot operations. Suppliers competing for similar future requirements would need to demonstrate that their equipment is suitable for railway use, can handle the relevant loads and operating conditions, and can be supplied and supported for the buyer’s operational needs. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this equipment requirement was met by an SME rather than requiring a large-scale prime contractor. Manufacturers, specialist rail engineering firms and equipment distributors with relevant product expertise and delivery capability are the closest fit.
