Security Services

Transport for Wales Rail Limited is seeking a single, integrated security provider for solicitation TFW1049.01 to manage security operations across its network, including stations, depots, and on-train services. The contract utilizes a flexible, risk-based, and intelligence-led deployment model to provide both planned and reactive security activities aimed at protecting passengers, employees, and the general public. The scope specifically excludes revenue protection and event security, as the latter will be procured separately alongside crowd management services. The estimated contract value is 18 million GBP excluding VAT, with a primary performance period from June 1, 2027, to May 31, 2030, and a possible 12-month extension to May 31, 2031. The award will be determined through a two-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure. In the first stage, submissions will be evaluated based on technical quality (60 percent), commercial price (30 percent), and social value quality (10 percent), with a minimum technical score of 6.0 required to proceed. The second stage consists of a tender validation meeting to clarify and substantiate written responses. The procurement process is hosted on the Atamis portal, with a final tender submission deadline of January 14, 2027. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as particularly suitable for this requirement.
