Located in Birmingham, England, this tender aims to rebrand a fleet of 20 trams and is in the active tender stage. Interested parties must submit their bids before the deadline on 21 January 2019. The total envisaged value for this project is £280,000, with a contract duration expected to commence on 1 February 2019 and conclude by 31 January 2021. The procurement will follow an open procedure method, allowing for wide participation. This opportunity presents an excellent growth avenue for businesses specialising in painting and branding services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the project specifications. Companies capable of handling surface preparation, anti-graffiti film removal, and branding application will find this tender particularly relevant. The need for ongoing support and an extended warranty indicates potential for long-term engagements beyond the initial contract, benefiting businesses looking to establish lasting connections with public sector clients. ## Notice The West Midlands Metro fleet comprises 21 trams, numbered 17 to 37. One tram (numbered 31) has been re-liveried as a pilot and is excluded from the scope of this project. WMCA is looking to appoint a supplier to fulfil the project scope for the 20 trams, which includes the following main deliverables: * removal of existing adhesive film branding details and signage; * removal of external window anti-graffiti film; * preparation of tram body surface and interior surfaces to receive wrapping and/or paint; * application of PWF externally and branding details internally to 20 trams; * application of paint to visible areas that cannot be wrapped; * documented maintenance procedures; * ongoing support arrangements; and * a minimum of five years' warranty following the end of a one-year defect liability period. Please note that the envisaged total value for the life of the Framework is PS280,000. This is for tendering purposes only and WMCA cannot guarantee that this level of spend will be incurred.
