Summary of the contracting process

Bridgend County Borough Council procured crane repair and maintenance services for Porthcawl Harbour. The requirement concerned repairs to the harbour’s crane, rather than the supply of a new crane or general harbour works. The contract was delivered in Bridgend County Borough, Wales. This is a specialist mechanical maintenance requirement for suppliers able to service lifting equipment in a harbour setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to RHC Lifting. The council signed the contract on 13 August 2025; the stated contract period ran from 14 August to 6 October 2025. Its value was £40,970 excluding VAT (£49,164 including VAT). The process was described as below-threshold, with the procedure otherwise not identified. One lot covered the crane repair requirement. No award date or evaluation criteria are recorded. The contract is reported as terminated, with completion given as the reason; implementation ended on 1 May 2026. The final reported value was £45,270 excluding VAT (£54,323.92 including VAT).

For suppliers assessing future crane maintenance work for Bridgend County Borough Council, this award indicates demand for specialist repair services at Porthcawl Harbour, delivered through a below-threshold procurement. A credible competitor would need practical capability in diagnosing and repairing lifting equipment, with the resources to undertake work in a harbour environment. The selected supplier was an SME, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by a smaller specialist business. Relevant experience maintaining cranes and dependable delivery of repair work would be central to competing for a similar requirement from this buyer.
