## Summary

Transport for Wales, a sub-central government public authority, has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Strategic Consultancy Advisory Services for Bus Operating Model (OM)" located in the United Kingdom (region UKL). The procurement, governed by Welsh devolved regulations, involved a direct award to ColloSys Ltd for business and management consultancy services. Due to technical reasons and the absence of reasonable alternatives, the procurement method was executed below threshold without competition to ensure best value for money. The contract, identified as C001281.00, was signed on 26th November 2025 and is active from 27th November 2025 to 31st August 2026, with a gross value of £120,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs in the consultancy sector with expertise in strategic advisory services for public transport systems. Businesses accustomed to operating under similar devolved government regulations and capable of delivering high-value services with a focus on value for money stand to benefit. The direct award process suggests that businesses with niche capabilities and a strong track record, similar to ColloSys Ltd, are well-suited to successfully compete for such tailored contracts.
