This tender, identified by Transport for Wales, focuses on acquiring a comprehensive software solution aimed at improving maintenance efficiency for both legacy and modern rolling stock. Located in Pontypridd, the buyer is seeking to enhance integration with internal and third-party systems. The procurement falls under the "services" category, with significant intersections in software packages and IT services, specifically coded under CPV 48000000 and 72000000. Key engagement milestones include a supplier briefing scheduled for 19th January 2026, which will be conducted online. Businesses are invited to express their interest by the 19th of December 2025 to attend this briefing. The procurement process anticipates the contract to become active from December 2026, extending for five years. This tender creates significant opportunities for IT service providers and developers specialising in advanced asset management systems, offering a potential five-year contract valued at £579,600 gross. It is an ideal opportunity for SMEs capable of delivering innovative solutions supporting mobile and desktop platforms, including comprehensive traceability, dynamic scheduling, and robust security features. Companies able to integrate systems with external platforms, offering real-time analytics and compliance controls, stand to benefit immensely. The focus on a future-oriented system that enhances the seamless operation of rolling stock makes this procurement particularly lucrative for firms with expertise in transport logistics and software integration. ## Notice TfW is inviting suppliers to express interest in an upcoming tender for an advanced, future-oriented Rolling Stock Asset Management System to supersede the existing solution. The new system must accommodate both legacy and modern rolling stock, with the aim of improving maintenance efficiency, materials management, regulatory compliance, and seamless integration with TfW's internal and third-party systems. The proposed system should support mobile usage as well as desktop and enhance all facets of maintenance planning, execution, and reporting--including both preventive and corrective tasks. Capabilities must include improved material availability, optimised inventory management, and effective warranty and cost control. Essential features comprise real-time fault and delay reporting, robust analytics for operational and financial performance, and strict adherence to railway safety and regulatory requirements. The solution should additionally enable third-party maintenance operations and offer comprehensive traceability and auditability of all assets. All maintenance activities must be documented electronically including mobile usage with complete traceability, including change logs, user activity, and audit trails, and distinguish between preventive and corrective maintenance activities, supporting dynamic scheduling based on time, date, vehicle, and component manufacturer. Integration with external platforms such as CAF GMAO, Stadler SRMS, Tracsis Enterprise, and TfW's procurement and finance systems is essential. This includes automated purchase order processing, supplier qualification oversight, and approval workflow facilitation. Master Data: The solution should incorporate templates for vehicle structures, track sub-assemblies, and serialised spare parts, ensuring full lifecycle traceability for all assets and components. It must also allow for counter readings, calibration tracking, and attachment of relevant safety documentation and drawings. Materials Management: The system must provide inventory tracking across multiple locations, technician logging, automated procurement, and stock replenishment capabilities. Support for return and scrap management, lead time monitoring, and asset/component association per maintenance cycle is required. Security and Compliance Requirements: * The solution must meet strict security and compliance standards to protect operations and sensitive data with enough flexible licensing for separate roles, location and organisational needs, with tight access controls. * Full adherence to TfW's security standards is required. Reporting & Analytics: * Real-time dashboards and reporting tools should deliver insights into performance, costs, compliance, and material usage. * Reporting capabilities must extend to profitability, productivity, utilization, effectiveness, forecasting, and inventory valuation. Planning & Scheduling: * The platform should enable dynamic scheduling creation, mass updates to maintenance plans, and long-range simulations, assisting planners in optimising vehicle deployment and workforce allocation.
