The initiative is situated in Pontypridd and targets improvements across multiple railway stations in Wales. Transport for Wales, operating from Commercial, 3 Llys Cadwyn, Taff Street, has already awarded the contract to Centregreat Rail Limited, Bridgend, as of 20th August 2025. This award notice signals the conclusion of the tender stage and the commencement of the contract execution phase. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, and key components include the design, installation, and improvement of gates and platform validators in railway stations. This tender provides a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in railway equipment, civil engineering services, and construction work for railway infrastructure. Firms with capabilities in offering comprehensive engineering and design services, particularly those that support mechanical and electrical installations, are best positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Moreover, businesses focused on integrating advanced technological solutions, such as remote management capabilities and gateway software packages, can leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence in the railway and public transport sectors. By succeeding in such tenders, companies can achieve significant growth and establish themselves as key suppliers to public transport authorities. ## Notice The project requires the provision of station design services that detail and cost all civil engineering work required, as well as the execution of that work, to enable a clean 'plug and play' installation of replacement gates, including any hardware required to support remote management capabilities at 14 stations/sites (including 1 test centre), as well as replacement of platform validators (PVALs) across 94 stations/sites (including 1 test centre), all of which we plan to purchase as an outcome of the 'Gates and Platform Validators' supplier tender.In addition to the above, four stations are currently being targeted to receive gates with remote management capabilities for the first time, which will require increased levels of design and build effort, and there are plans to expand to 39 more stations/sites with platform validators (PVALs) to support PAYG expansion, all subject to final approval and funding. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=149740 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | 9 May 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Aug 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT FOR WALES | | Locality | PONTYPRIDD | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF37 4TH | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL51 Central Valleys and Bridgend | | Local authority | Rhondda Cynon Taf | | Electoral ward | Pontypridd Town | | Westminster constituency | Pontypridd | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CENTREGREAT RAIL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 48 - Software package and information systems - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 34940000 - Railway equipment - 44221300 - Gates - 45200000 - Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work - 45213320 - Construction work for buildings relating to railway transport - 45213321 - Railway station construction work - 45234100 - Railway construction works - 45234111 - City railway construction work - 48219100 - Gateway software package - 71321000 - Engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations for buildings - 71322000 - Engineering design services for the construction of civil engineering works ## Release History - 20 Aug 2025 at 14:21 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=149740 - 8 Apr 2025 at 16:53 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=149740 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=APR507129&idx=4 7th May 2025 - ITT Volume 3 Commercial Response Template v2 - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=APR507129&idx=5 7th May 2025 - ITT Volume 3 Commercial Response Template v3 - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=APR507129&idx=3 17th April 2025 - Revised tender programme to reflect the agreed EoT. - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=APR507129&idx=2 11th April 2025 - 'ITT Vol 2 Questionnaire v2 11.04.25' doc to superceed ITT Vol 2 uploaded on 08.04.25. - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=APR507129&idx=1 8th April 2025 - ITT Pack ## Notice URLs - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
