Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Transport for Wales focuses on the "Gates and Platform Validators Design and Build" project, which falls under the category of works. The initiative is situated in Pontypridd and targets improvements across multiple railway stations in Wales. Transport for Wales, operating from Commercial, 3 Llys Cadwyn, Taff Street, has already awarded the contract to Centregreat Rail Limited, Bridgend, as of 20th August 2025. This award notice signals the conclusion of the tender stage and the commencement of the contract execution phase. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, and key components include the design, installation, and improvement of gates and platform validators in railway stations.

This tender provides a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in railway equipment, civil engineering services, and construction work for railway infrastructure. Firms with capabilities in offering comprehensive engineering and design services, particularly those that support mechanical and electrical installations, are best positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Moreover, businesses focused on integrating advanced technological solutions, such as remote management capabilities and gateway software packages, can leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence in the railway and public transport sectors. By succeeding in such tenders, companies can achieve significant growth and establish themselves as key suppliers to public transport authorities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Gates and Platform Validators Design and Build

Notice Description

The project requires the provision of station design services that detail and cost all civil engineering work required, as well as the execution of that work, to enable a clean 'plug and play' installation of replacement gates, including any hardware required to support remote management capabilities at 14 stations/sites (including 1 test centre), as well as replacement of platform validators (PVALs) across 94 stations/sites (including 1 test centre), all of which we plan to purchase as an outcome of the 'Gates and Platform Validators' supplier tender.In addition to the above, four stations are currently being targeted to receive gates with remote management capabilities for the first time, which will require increased levels of design and build effort, and there are plans to expand to 39 more stations/sites with platform validators (PVALs) to support PAYG expansion, all subject to final approval and funding.
