Facilities Management

Transport for Wales Rail Limited (Utility Buyer) · Local or regional public body

In brief

Transport for Wales Rail Limited (Utility Buyer) has announced plans to buy facilities management and building maintenance work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £57,500,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 5 years, up to 8 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2028.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 13 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £57,500,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Transport for Wales is preparing to re-procure its Facilities Management contract to support its estate and operational activities across Wales and the Borders. As part of developing the future requirement, Transport for Wales is considering how facilities management services should be structured to support operational delivery, compliance obligations and wider estate objectives. This engagement will help inform the future operating model, contract scope and commercial approach. Transport for Wales is seeking market insight on how best to deliver a flexible, efficient and value-for-money service that can support both current operational needs and future estate developments. Feedback received through this engagement will help shape the future procurement strategy, contract requirements and commercial approach ahead of any formal procurement process.
