In plain English

Transport for Wales wants to buy a software system, an online portal, to manage the outside contractors who work on its stations. The portal would handle contractor checks and onboarding, control access and permits, and show in real time what contractors are doing on site. The estimated value is a fixed £430,000.

What the buyer wants

• Provide a software solution that supports a Control of Contractors portal across Transport for Wales' station network • Support contractor compliance and onboarding, and access control and permit management • Give real-time visibility of contractor activity and integrate with existing systems where appropriate

Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice lists no specific qualifications or certifications, but the £430,000 value and the need to deliver a software platform across the whole station network, integrated with existing systems, would most likely rule out very small firms without experience of delivering large software projects.
