Summary of the contracting process

The Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom, completed a procurement process titled "Active Travel Footpath Link, Glyncoed Phase 3", which falls under the works category in the construction and civil engineering sector. This contract, procured through a limited competition method due to it being below the threshold, was awarded on 28th October 2025, after receiving seven bids.
