Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea commissioned a procurement process for groundworks and drainage in Sketty, Swansea, with the contract awarded on 14th April 2026. This process, categorised under works, involved the use of an open competition method below the threshold. The contract involved excavation, earthmoving, and drainage work, and was initiated under tender and completed on 15th April 2026. The contract period extends until 14th December 2026 with a gross value of £76,307.

The awarded contract to ALGAR GROUNDWORKS LIMITED highlights potential growth opportunities for businesses in construction particularly those specialised in excavation and drainage works. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in the industry may find similar tenders advantageous for further expansion, as such projects often demand quality project management and adherence to standards like CDM Regulations 2015. The process allows businesses to showcase their capabilities and leverage their expertise in delivering high-quality groundworks under competitive bidding conditions. The open competition method favours businesses that are proficient in offering competitive pricing while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
