Located in Pontypridd, this procurement is part of the rail industry category. Key deadlines for completion of works include the final registration of various route sections by 23rd October 2023 for the Queen Street North route, 15th June 2023 for the Bay route, and 1st May 2024 for the Rhymney route. The tender process involves a design and build contract that will require suppliers to adopt existing outline designs and deliver various rail electrification works, including the establishment of a materials distribution centre. This opportunity will be particularly beneficial for construction and engineering firms with expertise in rail works and project management, particularly those capable of managing complex supply chains and logistics. Businesses that specialise in materials quality control, the installation of overhead line equipment, and those with experience in handling European Regional Development Funds would be well-positioned to compete. By engaging in this tender, companies can contribute to significant infrastructural developments which aim to enhance the South Wales Metro transport system. ## Notice The CVL Transformation programme of works forms an important part of the South Wales Metro and includes an ambitious and extensive range of rail works including electrification of circa 170km of track, new stations, major refurbishment / extension of stations and associated ancillary works. Programme constraints dictate that a supplier be appointed to undertake the works prior to completion of detailed design. The supplier shall be appointed on a design and build basis. The supplier shall be furnished with available outline designs, which they shall adopt and provide design liability for and, subsequently undertake the detailed design and installation. The qualitative and commercial elements of this procurement event therefore seek to ensure TfW appoint a supplier who will deliver the works in a collaborative and cost-efficient manner. The overarching deliverables for the works are: - Establish and manage a materials distribution center (MDC) within a locality of the works which facilitates storage and expeditious delivery of materials to the worksites. - Provision of a comprehensive materials quality control & material management system which can, but not be limited to the following functions: receive inputs (AFC designs, bills of materials, programme dates, track all stages of installation and associated quality checks and the like), take cognisance of stock levels, produce outputs (material order details) and align material allocations to site locations. - Establish and provide a team of subject matter experts to undertake detailed design and manage the works from works delivery and contract administration standpoint. - Procurement of materials required for construction of OLE system. - Delivery of a full OLE system from foundations to final registration for 13.205 single track kilometers (STK) on the Queen Street North route section, 1.5 STK on the Bay route section, and 45.555 STK on the Rhymney route section. The works that form the basis of this procurement event are partly funded by European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) resulting in prescriptive dates by which the ERDF monies must be expended.
