Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a contract awarded by Transport for Wales Rail Limited, a utility buyer based in Rhondda Cynon Taf, for station improvements, specifically rebranding including painting and signage replacement. This project falls under the "works" category and covers the geographical network of CVL and WCB. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the contract signed on 26th November 2025. The opportunity was divided into six lots based on geographical areas and disciplines, and interested parties had until 27th October 2025 to submit their bids.
