Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Council procured a framework for general building and property maintenance works across schools and public buildings in Swansea. The requirement covers live facilities used by children, staff and members of the public. Work includes general building, groundworks, bricklaying, plastering, carpentry, flooring and fire-door installation, alongside building alterations, extensions, completion, painting, electrical and mechanical installation, and building-services repairs and maintenance. The main category is construction work (CPV 45210000). The framework supports maintenance projects for Swansea Council’s school estate and public-building portfolio. It is suitable for contractors able to deliver varied building works safely in occupied public premises, rather than a single specialist trade or one-off construction project.

The procurement is complete and resulted in active framework awards and contracts. Swansea Council used an open procedure for one lot, with quality weighted at 20% and cost at 80%; variants were allowed and bids could be submitted electronically or in writing in Welsh or English. Nineteen bids were received, all from SMEs and electronically. The first award, made on 13 December 2023 and signed on 30 January 2024, covers 18 suppliers at a recorded value of £0.01. A subsequent award, also signed on 30 January 2024, covers 30 named suppliers and has a contract value of £11,000,000. Its recorded contract period is 180 days. The original framework period was 22 January 2024 to 21 January 2025, with extensions available in 12-month periods for up to a further 24 months. An amendment increased the contract to address higher workload and material and labour costs while allowing time for a new tender process in 2026/27.

This procurement shows sustained demand from Swansea Council for multi-trade building maintenance delivered across occupied schools and public buildings. Credible competitors would need broad in-house capability or dependable supply-chain coverage across general building, groundworks, bricklaying, plastering, carpentry, flooring, fire doors, alterations, extensions, painting, electrical and mechanical works, and building-installation maintenance. They would also need the operational discipline to work safely around children, staff and members of the public, manage varied maintenance projects, and maintain service levels when workload and labour or material costs rise. The appointed field was dominated by SMEs, with 19 SME bids received, indicating that established regional contractors and capable smaller firms can compete for this type of framework. Experience coordinating multiple trades and delivering responsive work across a public estate would strengthen a future offer.
