Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Council established a framework for planned construction and improvement works to domestic properties in Cardiff. The requirement covers general building and refurbishment activity, including scaffolding, demolition and site clearance, excavation, structural and concrete repairs, roofing insulation, windows and doors, staircases, joinery, painting and glazing, floor and wall coverings, kitchens, bathrooms, drainage, building fittings, electrical equipment installation, road markings and asbestos removal. The framework is intended for contractors able to deliver a broad range of planned housing works rather than a single specialist trade. The work is classified as construction works and is delivered for the Council’s domestic property portfolio in Cardiff. The framework is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded through an open competitive flexible procedure with a two-stage process: a procurement-specific questionnaire followed by invitations to tender. Seven final-stage bids were received. One lot was awarded on 24 June 2026 to Cardo (Wales & West) Limited, Ian Williams Ltd, Davies Contractors Ltd, TW Group (South Wales) Ltd and M Delacey and Sons (Holdings) Ltd. The framework value is £37.2 million excluding VAT, or £44.64 million including VAT. The framework contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with an option to extend for up to 24 months, to 31 July 2030. Evaluation was based on cost at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%. The framework allows direct awards and mini-competitions.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Cardiff Council for planned housing maintenance, refurbishment and construction delivered through a multi-supplier framework. A credible future competitor would need broad operational capacity across several building trades, or a strong model for coordinating specialist subcontractors, with the ability to deliver domestic property works safely and consistently. Relevant capability includes structural repairs, demolition, asbestos removal, roofing, joinery, kitchens, bathrooms, electrical installation, drainage, finishes and external works. Contractors should be able to manage varied work packages, programme delivery across a housing portfolio and the quality and social value requirements used in evaluation. The awarded supplier group comprises five large contractors, while the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating scope for capable smaller businesses to participate directly or through delivery partnerships.
