Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea initiated a procurement process for the "Contract for Execution of Morfa Quay and New Cut Road Pontoons" as a single-stage design and build project under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. Situated in Swansea, UK, the tender was conducted as an open competition below the threshold amounting to £900,000, with the procurement stage previously active but now complete due to tender cancellation. The enquiry period ended on the 27th of June 2025, with a submission deadline on the 4th of July 2025; however, the awarding stage was cancelled on the 18th of August 2025 due to non-compliant bids. The procurement had been structured to cover architectural, construction, engineering, and environmental services within the UK region UKL18.

This procurement process presented an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs involved in construction and engineering sectors to engage in public procurement and expand their portfolio in infrastructure projects. With its wide-ranging scope covering design, build, and environmental compliance, the project was particularly suitable for businesses with expertise in complex infrastructure developments. Participation required registration on the eTenderWales portal, providing access to tender documents and facilitating the submission. While the project did not progress, businesses that prepared bids had a chance to position themselves for future opportunities with the City & County of Swansea, benefitting from bid preparedness and engagement in the tendering process.
