Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea has initiated a tender process for the establishment of a Framework Agreement for the Supply and Delivery of General Building Materials, including timber and associated products. The tender is currently in the 'Tender' stage, with the closing date for submissions on 24th March 2026. This procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically focussing on timber, doors, ironmongery, and sheets, with service delivery expected in the UK. The organisation seeks experienced suppliers to fulfil the requirements across four lots, with an engagement to start from 1st June 2026 and last until 31st May 2028, potentially extending until 2030. This tender is overseen by Leigh Davies, reachable at Leigh.davies@swansea.gov.uk, and adheres to Welsh devolved regulations with public authority classification.

This framework offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the construction and supply sectors, especially for SMEs and VCSEs, given its segmentation into four distinct lots. The procurement method follows an open procedure, promoting wide competition to achieve the most advantageous bids. Businesses engaged in supplying timber, doors, ironmongery, and sheet materials can significantly benefit by participating, especially those able to accommodate large stock orders and value-added services as outlined in the tender documents. Given the estimated contract value of £3,600,000, with a potential retrospective rebate system, successful suppliers can expect significant turnover, making participation attractive to companies looking to expand their market presence within Swansea and broader UK regions. Additionally, the option for mini competitions when supply requirements exceed specific thresholds allows agile businesses to further leverage this procurement process to secure a more significant share of the contract.

This decision will be contingent upon the geographical proximity of the works to the respective supplier's premises. Consequently, this might result in the procurement of goods from a supplier whose rate is not the lowest among the available options. Mini Competitions Mini competitions will be undertaken where the value of the required goods exceeds PS15,000 (excluding VAT), or where the requirement involves a large stock order, high operational impact, or specialist goods. The Council reserves the right to initiate a mini competition at any time during the duration of this Framework, regardless of the value of the required goods, where it is considered to be in the Council's best commercial or operational interests, including to address Supplier performance concerns, ensure continuity of supply, or secure the most advantageous outcome. The Council will invite all appointed Framework Suppliers on the relevant Lot to tender as part of the mini competition. Suppliers will be ranked based on the evaluation criteria stated in the mini competition documentation. Where the highest ranked Supplier for that item is unable to supply the goods within the specified timescales or requirements, the Council reserves the right to award the call off to the next highest ranked Supplier, and so on."
