Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Wales has completed a procurement process for the Cardiff Central Enhancements Project (Phase 1 Design), focusing on civil engineering works and services to enhance Cardiff Central Station. This initiative, which is part of the General Public Services industry category, took place in Pontypridd, UKL, under the 'award' and 'contract' stages as of 2nd September 2025. The project involves upgrading station entrances, platforms, subways, buildings, and safety infrastructure to improve passenger capacity and resilience. Transport for Wales utilised a limited procurement method by awarding the contract via the Crown Commercial Services Framework, without prior publication, following a competitive procedure. The contract was signed with BAM Construct UK on 1st September 2025, valued at GBP 10.4 million.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the civil engineering sector, particularly those capable of providing complex in-station improvements and safety solutions. Large construction firms with a proven track record in infrastructure projects are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The project's reliance on a framework agreement approach underscores the advantage for firms familiar with government procurement frameworks. This specific contract has allowed BAM Construct UK to leverage their expertise to deliver critical upgrades at one of Wales's major transport hubs, enhancing the potential for future collaboration and contracts in the infrastructure domain.
