Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has entered into a Framework Agreement for the maintenance of road restraint systems within its jurisdiction, having awarded the contract to CORE HIGHWAYS (BARRIER) LIMITED. This procurement process falls under the "works" category and adheres to the open competition method below the threshold. The procurement initiated in January 2026 with the tender stage, and the contract was awarded on 9th July 2026, taking effect from 13th July 2026 and set to run until 12th July 2029, with a renewal option available for up to 12 months. The primary focus of the contract is the erection and maintenance of safety and road barriers within the region of UKL18, Swansea, United Kingdom, under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54.

This framework agreement presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in infrastructure works related to road safety systems, particularly those specialising in the erection and maintenance of barriers. With a total estimated value of £240,000, the contract represents a substantial engagement for large contractors like CORE HIGHWAYS, but it also notes suitability for SMEs and VCSEs. The emphasis on quality and competitive pricing as selection criteria suggests avenues for such companies to demonstrate their capabilities in quality installation and maintenance, providing avenues for networking and future opportunities within local government projects.
