Summary of the contracting process

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is currently in the planning phase of the procurement process for the "SWTRA Consultancy Services Framework 2027." This initiative aims to appoint qualified and experienced organisations to provide highways engineering consultancy services across the South Wales Trunk Road network, structured into three regional lots: West, Central, and Eastern. The main procurement category is services, and the project is above threshold, indicating a significant investment with a gross value amounting to £151,200,000. This framework will cover several engineering consultancy areas, including civil, structural, environmental, and advisory services. The contract is planned to commence on 1st April 2027 and is initially set to run until 31st March 2029, with a potential extension until 31st March 2031. The procurement falls under the Welsh devolved regulations, and future notices are expected by 30th September 2026, providing ample time for interested parties to prepare their submissions.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in civil, structural, environmental, and engineering design services. SMEs are encouraged to participate, especially those capable of forming consortia to tackle the regions specified in the lots. The framework agreement will enable participating firms to establish and strengthen their presence in the South Wales infrastructure sector. Engaging in this contract could position businesses strategically for future projects, given the broad scope and high-value nature of the framework. Thus, any business with robust capabilities in the specified consultancy services related to infrastructure projects will find this opportunity particularly advantageous for long-term gains.
