## Summary

Transport for Wales is initiating a tender process for the "Main part Steel & Circular Hollow Material FW for Railway Overhead Line Electrification" project, focusing on the construction industry. This procurement is aimed at appointing a maximum of ten suppliers across two lots, with a total estimated value of £15 million. The tender period is open until 10th May 2021, with bids expected to support electrification works on the Core Valley Lines and the Wales and Borders rail network. The contract length is initially set for 360 days but includes provisions for extensions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction materials, particularly those knowledgeable in railway infrastructure. Suppliers that can meet the Network Rail, ISO, EU, and CE standards are particularly encouraged to apply. The requirement for community benefits further enhances the prospects for companies focused on social and environmental considerations, making it an ideal opportunity for both established contractors and newer firms looking to expand their market presence in the rail sector.

## Notice

Transport for Wales is looking to appoint a maximum of 10 suppliers to 2 separate lots to provide materials which make up the structural main part steelwork and circular hollow section steel piling of a rail OLE system. The main delivery of these products will be for the Core Valley Lines including City & Penarth Lines (CVL) but may also be on any Wales and Boarders rail network project as appropriate. The materials are required to facilitate the electrification of the CVL. The CVL electrification is required to provide a more efficient and faster rail infrastructure and to support the wider CVL upgrades & enhancements and a new rolling fleet. Suppliers are to be aware that Amey Infrastructure Wales (AIW) may also utilise this framework.
