## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by First Greater Western Limited, involves the supply of information and directional signage for stations managed by Great Western Railway (GWR). This contract, falling under the goods category, is part of an open procedure framework targeting various regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK, and UKL. The process advanced from the tender stage, which was active as of 4 July 2025, to an award decision pending finalisation by 17 November 2025. The contract award, announced on 6 November 2025, totals £2,400,000 with a net value of £2,000,000, and includes a framework agreement that may be extended by another year after its initial term ending 23 November 2028.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in signage production and supply, particularly those experienced with the technical specifications required by railway stations. The framework agreement allows for potential further business prospects through mini-competitions among selected suppliers, offering SMEs such as Wood & Wood International Signs Limited, Trueform Engineering Limited, Rydon Signs Limited, Astra Signs Limited, and Cavendish Place (Eastbourne) Limited potential growth avenues. Businesses adept in the production of high-quality, compliance-ready signage would be well-suited to compete, especially those inclined to offer products that encompass both sustainability and design excellence to meet GWR's requirements. The contract also permits electronic submissions and considers contributions from small and medium enterprises (SMEs), thereby encouraging a broad spectrum of industry players to participate.

## Notice
