Summary of the contracting process

The upcoming public procurement process, titled "SWTRA Highways & Structures Framework 2027," is orchestrated by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council. This initiative is in the planning stage as of 26th September 2025 and is set to seek civil engineering contractors for highway-related construction services across multiple regions in South Wales, including UKL17, UKL22, and more. The framework will be executed under an open procedure, aiming to commence in April 2027 and span over three years, with a possible extension of up to 12 months. The program, which is estimated to be worth £384 million gross, will encompass two lots: Civils and Ancillary Works, and Surfacing and Ancillary Works. The notice indicates a future date for further communication on 30th June 2026.

This procurement offers a substantial opportunity for contractors in the civil engineering and construction industries to establish or expand their presence in servicing public infrastructure within the South Wales region. Companies specialising in engineering works and construction, particularly those with expertise in highways and road surface works, would be well-positioned to compete in this framework. Engaging in this large-scale, long-term project can foster business growth through substantial work volumes and the potential for long-term contracts. As it follows an open procedure, it invites wide participation, thus offering a transparent platform for qualified vendors to participate in public sector development initiatives as per Welsh devolved regulations.
