## About this tender

Transport for Wales (TfW) seeks to procure a supplier to deliver a Proof of Concept (PoC) that supports its transition from standards consumer to informed standards steward.

Provide structured metadata and classification to support discoverability and traceability of requirements.

Deliver strategic insight into where TfW may need to: Adopt, adapt, or retire existing standards, author or commission new standards to meet operational needs

Deliverables:

A functional, interactive knowledge graph platform or prototype

Supporting database and documentation detailing the standards mapping process

Executive summary report highlighting key findings, risks, and opportunities

Recommendations for scaling the system post-PoC
