Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd is overseeing a public procurement process for the project titled "Afonwen to Chwilog Active Travel - Phase 1", focusing on construction works in the United Kingdom. The industry category is construction work, and the project entails transforming existing footpaths into shared-use paths, including excavation, surfacing, drainage, and signage enhancements. This tender has progressed to the award stage, with M L Hughes, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in Bangor, awarded the contract, which remains active from 11th December 2025 to 21st March 2026. The procurement method employed was an open competition below the threshold, reflecting an inclusive approach, and adhered to the legal basis set by UKPGA 2023/54. Earlier planning indicated an active status by 12th February 2026, with associated contract signing dated 24th October 2025.

Businesses in the construction sector, especially SMEs, would find growth opportunities in such projects, given the emphasis on active travel infrastructure development and competitive open competition procurement methods. Firms with expertise in technical excavation, surfacing, and pathway construction are well-suited to engage in similar tenders managed by public authorities like Cyngor Gwynedd, allowing for involvement in community-enhancing projects compliant with Welsh devolved regulations. This initiative enhances regional connectivity, positioning contenders to contribute to public infrastructure improvements, thereby expanding their portfolio and strengthening reputational capital in local government contracts.
