Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales, a sub-central government public authority, is managing a public procurement process to award contracts for Hydrometry and Telemetry Site and Asset Maintenance across North and South Wales. With offices located in Cardiff, Wales, the procurement falls under the services category and is governed by Welsh devolved regulations. The process, currently in the award stage as of 23rd April 2026, started with a tender notice published in January 2026. It uses a selective procurement method with a competitive flexible procedure and includes a framework agreement. The contract period is set from 8th May 2026 to 8th May 2030, with awards pending for suppliers servicing both geographical areas, each valued at £840,000 gross (or £700,000 net). Key industry classifications include repair and maintenance services of building installations and grounds maintenance services, with delivery addresses across Wales.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities, prominently for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, including seasonal maintenance work, such as river gravel management, grass cutting, and eel pass upkeep. Companies possessing certifications such as NPTC or CPCS and a Waste Carrier Licence will be well-suited, especially those with a track record in similar contracts and the capacity to provide comprehensive services. The framework agreement aims to appoint a single supplier per geographical lot, prompting businesses to compete for either North Wales or South Wales based on their expertise and service delivery model. This framework provides a closed multi-lot structure allowing work allocation without further competition within each operational area. This structure is particularly favourable for SMEs as it outlines a clear path for resource allocation, promoting stable service delivery and operational efficiency.
