This open tender aims to design and manufacture 121 accessibility ramps for installation at 49 stations in South East Wales and Gloucestershire, covering a total of 73 platforms. The active procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with a closing date for submissions set for 24th September 2021. Interested parties are required to submit their bids electronically via eTenderwales. The contract is classified under the goods category, specifically for access ramps, with a contract duration of 210 days. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the design and manufacture of portable and robust accessibility solutions, particularly those with experience in transport infrastructure. Companies that can provide innovative solutions to improve public accessibility while addressing concerns related to vandalism and theft would be well-positioned to compete. The scope of the project also encourages consortia to participate, highlighting the potential for collaboration among firms with complementary expertise in engineering, manufacturing, and public safety solutions. ## Notice We need to procure a competent company to design and manufacture 121 accessibility ramps for installation at 49 stations (all stations are in South East Wales except for 4 stations which are in Gloucestershire) covering 73 platforms. The ramps must be portable, manoeuvrable, and deployed quickly and safely. In addition, they must be compatible with Stadler FLIRT (class 756 and class 231) Tram Trains. The supplier must also provide a solution to anti-social behaviour and vandalism concerns. The solution must be robust to protect the ramp from all manner of vandalism and theft - we require 121 products to protect all the ramps. As part of this procurement the supplier must be able to commit to providing singular or low number units at request for replacement as TfWRL need them for market value costs. ### Lot Information Lot 1 We need to procure a competent company to design and manufacture 121 accessibility ramps for installation at 49 stations (all stations are in South East Wales except for 4 stations which are in Gloucestershire) covering 73 platforms.
