## Summary

First Greater Western Limited (GWR) is seeking a supplier to support the production of railway timetables. The procurement process, currently at the tender stage, falls under the goods category with a specific focus on digital printing services. The contract, valued at £400,500, will encompass the creation of two main timetable productions annually and additional smaller productions as required. The contract period is set to start on 1st February 2025 and end on 31st December 2027, with an optional one-year renewal. The primary location for delivery is within the UK South West region (UKK). Interested bidders must submit their proposals electronically by 13th September 2024, ensuring bid validity until 1st February 2025.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in digital printing services, particularly those with experience in producing complex schedules and timetables. Companies that can manage flexible production schedules to accommodate both Long-Term and Short-Term Plans will find this contract particularly attractive. The negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition suggests a selective procurement method, signalling that GWR is interested in high-quality submissions from capable suppliers who can handle variable and potentially high-volume printing tasks. This is an excellent opportunity for firms looking to establish or expand their footprint in the railway services sector.
