    Brief

    Transport for Wales seeks a supplier to design and deliver comprehensive testing for the BRIAN system before its operational launch on 1 November 2026. BRIAN is a critical business system that will manage Transport for Wales' Rail Replacement Services (RRS) operations end-to-end, including requirement capture, service planning and allocation, operational management, and integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for payment processing. The testing programme must validate all system functionality, user workflows, and business processes across the complete RRS lifecycle—from initial requirement creation through planning, allocation, delivery, and payment. Given BRIAN's critical role in RRS mobilisation, thorough testing is essential to ensure the system is fully operational and meets business requirements before live deployment.
