Authority: Newport City Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTransport for Wales (TfW) were commissioned by the Welsh Government to deliver the recommendations of the South East Wales Transport Commission (the ‘Burns Commission’). Historically, WG funded the work of TfW Burns Delivery Unit directly, who have previously coordinated and procured all work in respect of the Newport Central scheme; however, as part of the transition programme for grant modernisation, from 25/26 part of the funding was awarded through the Local Transport Fund (LTF) to Newport City Council to progress some elements. There are significant project interfaces with wider work, including the TfW commissioned work on Malpas Rd. It is essential that continuity is maintained to remain on programme / grant window.
