Publisher note: Transport for Wales are looking for suppliers to supply our fleet with Alcohol for both a premium service and trolley service. Premier services This is only available on the Cardiff – Holyhead service on weekdays only. From September 2021 this service will increase from two to six services per day. The premier class catering offers two services: - standard class which consists of a buffet car, which provides hot food and drink. - premier class which consists of a 3-course meal prepared by our on-board chefs. TfW requires premium products which differ from the standard class and trolley service. Trolley Service TfW’s trolley service is available on multiple long-distance journeys. This service provides at seat catering for our customers travelling on our fleet, offering a range of alcohol and non-alcohol drinks and snacks. Due to space constraints the suppliers are required to supply 330ml and 500ml cans/plastic bottles for Ales, Lagers, Ciders and Stouts except. Please note the 500mls will be for the premium service only. The key objective of this procurement process is to secure Alcoholic Beverages that offer TfW value for money and added value in the goods and associated services being provided. In order to do this, the requirements have been split into two separate lots and will be awarded to single source supplier(s) for each lot or both lots.
