Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Welsh Government, known as Llywodraeth Cymru, involved the awarding of a contract for the creation of replacement stained glass panels at the Chapel in Caernarfon Castle. This contract falls within the works industry category and is localized in Caernarfon, United Kingdom, specifically under the UKL12 region. The procurement took place without a competitive process due to the unique qualifications required, as the work involves the remake of originally crafted panels by Studio Melyn, who holds the design specifications. The contract, valued at £53,676 excluding VAT, was signed on 25th June 2025 and is set to conclude by 25th August 2025.

This tender presents a distinctive opportunity for businesses specializing in glazing work and historical restoration, particularly those with expertise in heritage projects. Although the procurement process for this particular contract did not involve competition, similar future projects may be available, providing growth prospects for businesses equipped to deliver high-quality craftsmanship in specialised environments. Companies looking to engage in government-led cultural and historical preservation initiatives could benefit immensely by establishing a presence in this niche market.
