UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Cyngor Gwynedd, seeks to create a Nature-Focused Exhibition and Interpretation Space at Padarn Country Park's new Welcome Centre, located in Caernarfon, United Kingdom. This project falls under the services industry category, specifically construction consultancy, cultural services, and architectural services. It is currently at the tender update stage, with the tender period ending on 23 January 2026 and the enquiry period concluding on 5 January 2026. The open competition procurement method allows electronic submissions, thus facilitating wider participation. The total budget for the project is set at GBP 150,000, and it operates under Welsh devolved regulations. The planned contract period is from 23 February 2026 to 28 March 2027.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural and cultural service provisions, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its suitability criteria. The emphasis on quality and price criteria—70% quality and 30% price—indicates an opportunity for businesses that can showcase high-quality service delivery while remaining competitive in pricing. Organisations looking to expand into public sector projects and those with experience in exhibition and interpretive space design would find this tender especially beneficial for business growth, offering the chance to enhance presence in the Welsh public service sector.
