## Summary

Transport for Wales Rail Limited has completed a procurement process for the 'On Train Data Recorder' project, which involves the provision of hosting services, ongoing maintenance, and technical support for an On-Train Data Recorder solution. This project falls under the industry category 'Industry-specific software package' and is located within the United Kingdom. Initiated as a direct award due to technical reasons and bespoke integration requirements of the onboard systems, the procurement represents a completed stage, with the contract effective from 31st December 2025 to 31st December 2028, including potential extensions. The contract is valued at £1,050,000, with a gross total of £1,260,000, signed with Hasler Rail as the supplier.

Business opportunities exist in the provision of advanced technological solutions for the transport industry, particularly in areas requiring specialised software and system integration. Firms with expertise in technical support, data management, and bespoke technology solutions can thrive by engaging in public sector contracts that require maintaining operational integrity and compatibility of systems. Companies with large-scale operations and an emphasis on bespoke solutions are well-positioned to compete for such tenders. Additionally, this contract reflects potential growth through optional extensions and renewals, offering sustainable business expansion for suppliers involved in the public procurement sector.

## Notice

This direct award relates to the procurement of hosting services, inclusive of ongoing maintenance and technical support, for an On-Train Data Recorder OTDR solution. The OTDR system is designed to capture and store operational data relating to train control inputs, the train's performance in response to those inputs, and the functioning of associated control systems

### Procurement Information

The onboard systems are bespoke and tightly integrated with the commissioning process. * Engaging a new supplier or implementing alternative systems at this stage would necessitate a full process of revalidation, reconfiguration, and potentially recertification, which would introduce additional complexity and risk to the commissioning timeline and overall operational readiness.
