## Summary

First Greater Western Limited, trading as GWR, procured specialist hydraulic and pneumatic component supply and engineering support for its rolling stock fleet and depot equipment. The requirement covers valves, pumps, actuators, cylinders, hoses, fittings, seals and associated control equipment, together with fault diagnosis, component identification, collection and delivery, testing, certification, repair, refurbishment and overhaul. This is a maintenance and repair services requirement rather than a straightforward equipment supply contract. The work supports existing railway vehicles and depot machinery, requiring compatibility with GWR’s equipment and established maintenance arrangements. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, supporting GWR’s fleet and depot operations. The procurement is classified under repair and maintenance services for pumps, valves, taps and metal containers.

The procurement has been completed through a direct award to TIDYCO LIMITED, an SME, under the utilities regime. The stated rationale was continuity and compatibility with GWR’s existing rolling stock and depot equipment, avoiding disproportionate technical assessment, testing, cost and disruption. Tidyco was selected on 21 September 2026 for the single requirement, at £700,000 excluding VAT and £840,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 2 November 2027, with an extension possible up to 2 November 2028. The arrangement is intended as an interim contract while GWR undertakes a competitive tender for the longer-term requirement. The award is recorded as pending, with signature scheduled for 30 October 2026.

This requirement suits a specialist engineering supplier able to source, identify, repair, refurbish, test and overhaul hydraulic and pneumatic components for rail vehicles and depot equipment. Credible competitors would need practical expertise across valves, pumps, actuators, cylinders, hoses, fittings, seals and control equipment, supported by reliable fault diagnosis and component identification. The work also demands controlled collection and delivery, component testing, certification and responsive technical support, with the ability to maintain compatibility with an existing rolling stock fleet and depot estate. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable maintenance continuity, engineering assessment and quality assurance at fleet-support scale. The award shows established demand from GWR for an integrated supply and repair capability rather than isolated parts sales.
