Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd procured a construction framework for the general maintenance of structures and coastal assets across Arfon and Dwyfor, Meirionnydd and Ynys Môn, alongside major capital and grant-funded projects and specialist geotechnical engineering. The geotechnical scope covers soil nailing, rock anchoring, slope stabilisation, rope access works and pressure pointing, with suppliers required to demonstrate in-house capability and capacity for these core services. The framework serves Gwynedd and Anglesey, including coastal and other infrastructure assets. It is divided between routine maintenance below and above £50,000, major projects, and specialist geotechnical work. The buying organisation is Cyngor Gwynedd, a Welsh public authority. The procurement is classified as construction work (CPV 45000000).

The procurement has been awarded through an open competitive flexible procedure, using a framework with awards both with and without reopening competition and an electronic auction. Awards dated 17 August 2026 are pending signature. Lot 1 (£200,000 net; £240,000 gross) went to G H James Cyf, K W G Building & Civils Contractor Ltd, Anglesey & Gwynedd Groundworks Ltd, Dinas Contracting Cyf and William Evans & Sons Ltd; Lot 1B (£300,000 net; £360,000 gross) to Cambrensis Civil Engineering Ltd, Dinas Contracting Cyf, G H James Cyf, K W G Building & Civils Contractor Ltd and M L Hughes Construction Limited. Lots 2A and 3A each went to five suppliers for £200,000 net (£240,000 gross); Lots 2B and 3B each to five suppliers for £300,000 net (£360,000 gross). Lot 4 went to Alun Griffiths, G T Davies, Kaymac Marine & Civil Engineering, OBR Construction and QTS Group for £2,000,000 net (£2,400,000 gross). Lot 5 went to Alun Griffiths, Colin Jones (Rock Engineering), Gwynedd Grouting, QTS Group and Rope Access Solutions for £300,000 net (£360,000 gross). Contracts run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with renewal provisions and maximum extensions generally to 31 August 2033; Lot 3B’s maximum extension is 31 August 2032. Evaluation weighted social value 10%, quality 30% and price 60%, with economic and technical selection criteria.

This award shows a recurring requirement for contractors able to maintain structures and coastal assets across north-west Wales, deliver major capital or grant-funded works, or provide specialist geotechnical construction. Credible competitors would need demonstrable economic and technical capacity, strong quality management, and the ability to evidence social value. General maintenance capability should cover work delivered in both lower-value and higher-value work-order environments. Major-project suppliers need the scale and experience to handle complex capital works. Specialist providers need in-house geotechnical expertise covering soil nailing, rock anchoring, slope stabilisation, rope access and pressure pointing, rather than relying solely on external capability. The awarded supplier pool includes many SMEs, as well as larger civil engineering and construction businesses, indicating that the framework route accommodates both focused regional contractors and firms with broader delivery capacity.
