## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Transport for Wales Rail Limited focuses on the protection of the Holyhead Lathe Depot. The project falls under the construction work category, specifically related to depot systems and railway equipment. This procurement was initiated through an open competition method, applicable below threshold amounts, aligning with the Welsh devolved regulations and overseen by a sub-central government authority. Located in the United Kingdom, the tender has recently reached the award stage, with FirstClass Safety and Control Ltd in Colchester being selected as the supplier. This process has progressed to a completed status, with the contract period scheduled to start on 4th July 2025 and end on 31st March 2028. The procurement invites participation from SMEs, aiming at the enhancement of local depots with a significant gross value of £184,879 awarded for the work.

This tender presents valuable business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in construction and railway equipment. Companies experienced in depot systems and related construction projects stand to benefit, with the potential to collaborate with other industry players, such as Balfour Beatty and Arcadis, and work in coordination with Network Rail. This open competition fosters inclusive growth and offers smaller enterprises a chance to secure large-scale projects. Additionally, the eligibility for VCSE organisations presents opportunities for entities engaging in social value-driven efforts. The high commercial weighting put on price underlines the competitive nature of the bidding, encouraging cost-effective and efficient solutions, which could bolster the successful bidder’s portfolio and reputation within the rail industry.
