## Summary

Newport City Council is procuring continuation design and accommodation works for the Newport Central scheme. The requirement is for construction-related services, covering work that has previously been coordinated and procured by Transport for Wales’s Burns Delivery Unit. It sits within a wider transport programme, with important interfaces including Transport for Wales-commissioned work on Malpas Road. Delivery is in Newport, Wales. The council is the buying organisation, while Transport for Wales Limited is the selected supplier and the organisation delivering the services. The procurement is classified as services, with the related construction-services classification CPV 71500000. The requirement is intended to maintain continuity across linked project activities and support delivery within the relevant grant programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a direct award to Transport for Wales Limited. The stated legal basis is an exempted vertical arrangement under Schedule 2 of the Procurement Act 2023, with the rationale also citing existing project knowledge, interfaces and the need for continuity. There was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. The award was dated 10 September 2026 and has a gross value of £339,280, or £282,734 excluding VAT. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. A signature was scheduled for 25 September 2026, and the standstill period ended on 21 September 2026. The award status is recorded as pending.

This procurement indicates demand from Newport City Council for suppliers able to provide design and accommodation works within a live transport infrastructure programme. A credible future competitor would need construction-related design and delivery capability, together with the capacity to coordinate work across linked schemes and manage interfaces with other commissioned activities. Experience of maintaining continuity on an existing project would be important, particularly where changes in funding arrangements affect which public body commissions the work. Suppliers should be able to work within grant-funded programme constraints and integrate their services with wider transport works in Newport, including activity connected with Malpas Road. The requirement is presented as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller organisations with relevant project coordination and delivery experience may be well placed when comparable work is next considered.

## Notice

As discussed with Simon Nicholls, under the Procurement act we are permitted to direct award on behalf of another contract authority which is considered to be a vertical arrangement, schedule 2 - exempted contracts. Historically, WG funded the work of TfW Burns Delivery Unit directly, who have previously coordinated and procured all work in respect of the Newport Central scheme; however, as part of the transition programme for grant modernisation, from 25/26 part of the funding was awarded through the Local Transport Fund (LTF) to Newport City Council to progress some elements. There are significant project interfaces with wider work, including the TfW commissioned work on Malpas Rd. It is essential that continuity is maintained to remain on programme / grant window.
