Summary of the contracting process

The Vale of Glamorgan Council is planning a procurement process titled "Contract 2025-27 Direct Labour & Plant," focusing on services within the construction industry. This involves hiring construction gangs for highway-related schemes in the Vale of Glamorgan, with the use of transportation vehicles. As a public authority under Welsh devolved regulations, the Council aims to commence the contract on 31st July 2025, lasting until 30th July 2027, with potential renewal until 2028. The procurement, currently in the planning stage, is above the threshold, and a formal notice is expected by 16th June 2025. Interested parties are advised to note key dates and deadlines to prepare for participation in this tender.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction and transportation sectors, particularly those offering hire services for machinery and transport vehicles with operators.
