Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the Gresford Wilderness Tip Safety Improvement Works, with the stage currently in the contract phase. This process was an open competition below the threshold, focusing on essential drainage and river engineering works at the Gresford Wilderness colliery tip, a high-risk site. It aimed to minimise ground instability risks to safeguard surrounding lives and infrastructure. The contract was awarded to Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Limited for a period starting on 5th November 2025 and ending on 31st July 2026, with potential extensions if agreed upon by both parties. The award was made on the 7th of October 2025, and the contract value grossed £815,831.92. The project is located in the UKL23 region of the United Kingdom and falls under the construction work classification (CPV 45000000).

The tender presented significant opportunities for business growth, particularly within the construction sector, offering substantial work in civil engineering and environmental safety. Large-scale contractors proficient in drainage and river engineering developments stood to benefit from the project, although smaller entities also participated in the bid stage. The tender, with provisions for additional contract variations, highlights the potential for future business opportunities. Given the open procurement method, businesses of varying scales could engage in the process, although the presence of large contractors like Alun Griffiths indicates the competitive nature of such tenders. The contract's strategic location within Wrexham, alongside the regional need for remediation at high-risk sites, underscores potential demand for expertise in similar infrastructure projects.
