    Brief

    Transport for Wales Rail (TfWRL) is seeking bus and coach operators to provide rail replacement services across Wales and border routes. This open framework will consolidate all pre-planned and emergency rail replacement services currently delivered through multiple operators into direct contracts with TfWRL. The framework will cover: planned rail replacement duties (approximately 21,000 annually), emergency replacement services (approximately 6,000 annually), and ad-hoc travel services commissioned as needed. Based on 24/25 financial year data, this represents services currently provided by around 135 operators. The framework agreement will run for up to 8 years, providing operators with a structured, long-term contracting opportunity to deliver essential transport services across Wales and England border routes operated by TfWRL.
