## Summary

Transport for Wales Rail Limited commissioned improvement works at Holyhead railway depot. The procurement is for railway depot construction work, but the published scope gives no further breakdown of the improvements. The work is associated with Holyhead, on the Isle of Anglesey, Wales. The requirement is part of the buyer’s rail infrastructure and depot operations, making it relevant to contractors delivering construction or improvement work at railway facilities. Forte Engineering Ltd was selected for the works. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, so the requirement was not divided into separate packages for different suppliers.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Transport for Wales Rail Limited used a below-threshold limited competition. Forte Engineering Ltd was awarded the contract, which was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 25 June 2027. The contract value is £578,750.95 excluding VAT (£694,501.14 including VAT). The contract includes rights to vary the work and compensation events under an NEC form of contract. The award was made for one lot. The published details do not set out an evaluation formula or specific eligibility requirements, so the basis for selecting the supplier beyond the limited competition route cannot be described further.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows that Transport for Wales Rail Limited purchases depot improvement works through limited competition, with a single contractor appointed for the requirement. A credible competitor for similar work would need construction capability suited to railway depot environments and the capacity to deliver a defined package of works for a rail operator. Familiarity with NEC contract administration would also be commercially relevant, given the contract’s variation rights and compensation-event provisions. The contract period indicates a project running for several months, so suppliers would need to plan delivery resources for sustained site work rather than a brief intervention. The specific technical scope and any required accreditations are not described in the published details.
