Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd has overseen a procurement process titled "Waunfawr: Natural Flood Management (NFM)," focusing on the construction of natural flood management interventions in Gwynedd's Waunfawr upper catchment. This project falls under the 'Construction work' category and is situated in the United Kingdom, with the procurement status marked as complete. Key dates include the tender publication on 16 December 2025, with contracts signed by 12 January 2026, and an active contract period starting on 19 January 2026, ending on 13 March 2026. Utilising an open procurement method with a below-threshold open competition approach, Cyngor Gwynedd is serving in the buyer role, alongside the awarded supplier, Owen Environmental, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Dolgellau.

This tender represents an attractive opportunity for construction firms, particularly SMEs with expertise in flood management and environmental works, to expand their portfolios. The open competition format provided potential bidders with fair access, levelling the playing field for businesses seeking to establish or strengthen relationships with public authorities. The successful engagement of Owen Environmental, an SME, demonstrates that this sector can accommodate smaller firms, enabling them to gain valuable experience and recognition in governmental contracts, which can lead to future growth and acquisition of similar projects.
