Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by the City & County of Swansea involved a tender for urgent works on Scheduled Monuments at Clyne, Foxhole, White Rock, and Morris Castle. The procurement, under tender ID CCS-25-053, fell within the legal context of the UKPGA 2023/54 and was designed to address Health & Safety risks through comprehensive conservation efforts. Initially active, the process was later terminated on 16th October 2025 due to no submissions, following its original active status as announced on 14th August 2025. The tender was open for submission until 12th September 2025. This opportunity was classified under an open procurement method, with primary focus on works within the construction and preservation industry, particularly relevant to those engaged in heritage and conservation projects.

Although ultimately cancelled, this tender presented significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in conservation works and environmental compliance. The scope included not just the physical preservation of monuments but also ecological oversight and public engagement enhancements. Companies well-versed in offering architectural, construction, and engineering services tied to historical preservation projects would find such tenders beneficial. With a total value projection of £98,420, this tender highlighted the importance of developing expertise within specialised sectors such as site preparation and heritage conservation, encouraging participation from SMEs and VCSEs to foster diversified competition within the built heritage sector.
