Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd is planning improvement works at the Materials Recovery Facility on Cibyn Industrial Estate, Caernarfon, Gwynedd, LL55 2BD. The procurement concerns the design and build of a new materials recycling line and floor area, removal of existing MRF equipment where required, supply of new equipment, integration of existing and new equipment, installation and testing. It also covers warranties for new equipment and appropriate maintenance and repair services. The intended outcomes are better operational efficiency, health and safety, automation, contamination control and material quality, while allowing for future changes to recycling streams. The main category is construction and environmental improvement works, with associated waste-related services. The planned procurement is divided between design and build, equipment supply, and repair and maintenance.

This is a planned procurement at the market-engagement stage; Cyngor Gwynedd has not issued an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed through etenderwales.uk and bids accepted in English or Welsh. Three planned lots are identified: design and build, new equipment, and repair and maintenance. The lot values are £500,000, £500,000 and £200,000 excluding VAT respectively; the total estimated value is £1,200,000 excluding VAT (£1,440,000 including VAT). The buyer expected tender submissions by 9 March 2026, enquiries by 2 March 2026 and an award by 10 April 2026. Contract periods were expected to run from April 2026 or February 2027, with maintenance potentially renewed for two years to February 2030. Market engagement includes site visits during the week beginning 5 October 2026, with interest registration expected by 30 September 2026. A future notice was expected on 12 October 2026.

The procurement is likely to suit SMEs, as each planned lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It will interest firms able to design and deliver materials recycling or waste-processing facilities, manage construction and environmental improvement works, and coordinate installation in an operating MRF environment. Equipment manufacturers and specialist integrators may be well placed for the supply lot, particularly those able to combine new machinery with existing equipment and undertake commissioning and testing. Maintenance providers with capability in repair, servicing and warranty support for recycling-line equipment may suit the third lot, including firms able to support a renewable maintenance arrangement. Suppliers should prepare evidence of relevant MRF, recycling, automation, equipment integration, health and safety, installation, testing and maintenance experience before the future competition.
