## Summary

Transport for Wales (TfW) is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a vast range of professional services in the transport sector. This includes consultancy services such as business case development, technical support for decarbonisation, stakeholder engagement, and feasibility studies. The procurement is structured as a market engagement exercise, with scheduled sessions on 13 July 2026 in South Wales and 1 July 2026 in North Wales. The initiative targets both experienced multidisciplinary consultants and SMEs proficient in early development, design, and advisory services, with a gross contract value of approximately £144 million. The market engagement is an exploratory step to refine the future procurement strategy under the legal framework of the 2023/54 UKPGA directive.

This market engagement offers significant opportunities for growth to businesses operating in the architectural, engineering, construction, and consultancy sectors. Particularly, firms with expertise in transport data collection, environmental management, and infrastructure management are well-positioned to benefit. TfW's co-design model encourages active participation from suppliers, helping to shape an effective and competitive procurement approach. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are notably encouraged to engage, offering a conducive possibility for expanding their market reach and establishing a footprint in the public sector services. This strategic collaboration will aid TfW to harness diverse capabilities and innovative delivery models, eventually fostering high-quality service delivery in their upcoming projects.

### Planning Information
