Summary of the contracting process

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) is currently in the tender stage for the project titled "Levelling and Drainage Improvement at Ma'asker Al Raschid R.A.F. Cemetery, Iraq". This procurement falls within the works category, specifically targeting drainage and surface works, with an emphasis on addressing environmental and infrastructure issues caused by inadequate drainage at the cemetery, identified as an urgent need after a comprehensive survey in 2023. The tender is open for submissions until the 20th of June, 2025, with an enquiry period closing on the 13th of June, 2025. The project is set to commence on the 1st of July, 2025, and will be completed by the 30th of September, 2025. The CWGC, based in Maidenhead, United Kingdom, operates as a public authority within the sub-central government sector and has adopted an open competition procurement method for this process.

This tender offers a remarkable opportunity for businesses, especially those specialising in civil engineering and drainage solutions, to engage in an international project with the CWGC. Companies with experience in environmental remediation and infrastructure protection are particularly well-suited to compete given the project's focus on safeguarding the cemetery's environmental heritage. The procurement method allows small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to participate, as reflected by the tender's below-threshold nature and the encouragement of SME suitability. Participants must register on the CWGC e-Procurement portal to bid, facilitating easy access and participation in current and future tenders issued by the Commission.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Levelling and Drainage Improvement at Ma'asker Al Raschid R.A.F. Cemetery, Iraq

Notice Description

A survey completed in 2023 highlighted that this cemetery is situated at the lowest point in the surrounding area. This has led to significant issues including water accumulation and inadequate drainage which risks the environmental degradation of the site and future infrastructure damage. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is therefore seeking tenders from suitably qualified suppliers to undertake improvement works at the site to secure it for future generations.
