In plain English
Transport for Wales Rail is looking for one combined security service covering its stations, depots and trains across the whole network, valued at about £18 million. The service will include planned and reactive security work, and the contract can be scaled up or changed as needed. Revenue protection and event security are not included.
What the buyer wants
• Provide planned and reactive security across stations, depots and on-train operations • Deploy security staff using a flexible, risk-based and intelligence-led model that supports TfW operational teams • Allow TfW to increase or vary service levels during the contract in response to changing demand and emerging security needs
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not set out specific financial, insurance or certification requirements, but the £18 million value and the single integrated scope covering the whole network would most likely rule out small businesses that cannot deliver across the full network on their own.
Always check the tender documents.
