UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Wales Rail Limited is buying depot floor resurfacing works at Canton Train Maintenance Depot. The work includes preparing the floor, carrying out repairs, installing slip-resistant flooring and associated works inside an operational rail depot. This is a flooring and surface-treatment project in a railway maintenance setting, so it involves working around an operating depot. The procurement is a single package of works for the depot; the requirement is divided into three phases rather than separate lots. The buyer is Transport for Wales Rail Limited, based in Pontypridd. Delivery is at Canton Train Maintenance Depot in Wales.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The tender set an enquiry deadline of 27 October 2026 at 12:00 and a submission deadline of 3 November 2026 at 12:00; bids are to be submitted through the Atamis portal. The estimated contract value is £333,333 excluding VAT (£400,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 20 November 2026 to 31 March 2028. Phase 1 is committed and will be awarded with the contract; Phases 2 and 3 are optional, subject to the buyer’s operational requirements and business approval. Tenderers must price each phase separately. Evaluation is weighted 60% on the commercial response, 30% on the technical response and 10% on social value.

The opportunity suits flooring contractors able to prepare and repair depot floors and install durable, slip-resistant finishes. Relevant experience in rail or other operational industrial environments would help suppliers plan and deliver work safely around an active site; the scope explicitly places the work within a live rail depot. The phased structure may suit businesses able to price and resource a committed initial phase while also allowing for additional work if the buyer chooses to instruct it. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable. Competition is assessed not only on price but also on the technical proposal and social value, so bidders should be prepared to explain their delivery approach and social value contribution.
