Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales has successfully procured contracts for hydrometry and telemetry site and asset maintenance services across North and South Wales. The procurement process involved a competitive flexible procedure and has resulted in the award of a framework agreement to two suppliers—John Roberts (Ffestiniog) Ltd and Spencer Quantum Limited. The initiative, focusing on grounds maintenance and repair services, spans from 2026 to 2030. The procurement adhered to Welsh devolved regulations, with a selective method utilised to ensure suitable candidates were selected. The substantial contracts involve a gross value of £840,000 for each lot, covering various maintenance needs at the specified sites. All work will be delivered in specific geographical regions, ensuring a localised approach to maintenance requirements.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in grounds and building maintenance services. Suitable businesses are those capable of delivering a range of planned and reactive maintenance services, with a focus on environmental preservation, implied by the well-being impacts criteria. SMEs will find this framework particularly advantageous as it allows for participation in a selective number of lots, hence fostering competition within narrow fields. By engaging in this sector, businesses can not only grow financially but also contribute to the sustainability and upkeep of crucial environmental infrastructure across Wales.
