Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the City & County of Swansea involves the project titled "Contract for Execution of Morfa Quay and New Cut Road Pontoons" under the works category. The project, located in Swansea, United Kingdom, was intended as a single-stage design and build contract. However, this tender process has been terminated due to the absence of tender submissions. Initially, the bidding process was open for competition with a submission deadline on 29th October 2025 and expected to be governed by the Engineering and Construction Contract (ECC Option A) framework. The procurement process involved below-threshold open competition, allowing interested parties to engage through an electronic auction mechanism.

This tender offered significant opportunities for businesses in construction, engineering, and architectural services sectors, particularly those focusing on marine and civil engineering projects. Companies specialising in consultative engineering, architectural design services, and marine survey services would find this project beneficial for their portfolio. The project had a significant value proposition, estimated at an amount of £800,000, with additional potential benefits through related services and equipment hire. While the tender is now closed, such opportunities often encourage SME and VCSE participation, providing a substantial platform for showcasing expertise in project and construction management under Welsh devolved regulations. Future similar opportunities can be anticipated by maintaining a strong presence on procurement platforms like eTenderWales.
