Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Caerphilly County Borough Council, located in Hengoed, United Kingdom, focuses on establishing a Supply Partner for building materials and associated services and supplies. As of the latest update, the procurement stage has been reverted to the evaluation phase after receiving communication during the standstill period. The tender, titled "Supply Partner (Building Materials & Associated Services & Supplies)," belongs to the construction and electrical materials industry category, and aims to support Caerphilly Homes with various services such as response repairs and refurbishments. Initially planned in June 2025, the tender underwent multiple updates and cancellation, with the most recent on 12 February 2026.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction materials and electrical supplies, as well as those adept at providing innovative solutions supporting decarbonisation and sustainability initiatives. With a substantial contract value of £75 million and provisions for extensions, large enterprises like Huws Gray Ltd, already involved in the process, are best positioned to compete, especially those capable of fostering resilient supply chains and contributing to community engagement goals aligned with Welsh Housing Quality Standards and broader environmental strategies. The tender process utilises an open procedure, inviting businesses that can ensure timely delivery through standard goods catalogues while accommodating unique or bespoke product requirements to avoid productivity disruptions.
