## Summary

Transport for Wales Rail Limited has completed a direct award contract for an 'End to End Rail Transport System', recognizing the necessity for a comprehensive, web-based management system to enhance planning and operational efficiency. This procurement, valued at £600,000 with a gross value of £720,000, falls under the category of goods related to software packages and information systems. Located in the United Kingdom, the system will include features such as timetable construction, scheduling, and vehicle tracking. The contract period is set to initiate on 1st February 2026 and conclude by 1st February 2028. The award was announced on 7th October 2025, with the standstill period ending on 16th October 2025. The procurement process primarily employed a direct method due to proprietary technology constraints, ensuring continuity and compatibility in solutions to meet specific project requirements.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, information systems, and rail transport technology. Travelnet Systems Ltd, a large-scale supplier, was awarded the contract, reflecting the potential for similar businesses to engage with large-scale public sector clients. Companies with expertise in bespoke software solutions, mobile application development, or systems requiring technical exclusivity are well-suited to compete in such tenders. Engaging in similar contracts can expand market presence and secure long-term partnerships within the public infrastructure and services domain.

## Notice

Direct award for the end to end rail transport system. TfW have identified the need for a robust, web-based end-to-end management system to support planning, allocation, delivery, payment processing, and performance reporting. The software will also include timetable construction, scheduling, automated documentation provision, mobile companion applications, and vehicle tracking.

### Procurement Information

A direct award is justified due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. Specifically, the required solution involves proprietary technology that is uniquely available from a single supplier. No other provider can deliver a comparable product or service that meets the technical specifications and operational requirements of the project. This exclusivity is essential to ensure continuity, compatibility, and the successful delivery of outcomes.
