Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Design, Supply and Erect of Timber Frame" project, initiated by the City and County of Swansea, has been cancelled. This tender was initially aimed at constructing new Passivhaus homes as part of Swansea Council's housing stock in Birchgrove, located near junction 44 of the M4 motorway. The procurement process was at the award stage but was discontinued, with the status marked as unsuccessful. The main procurement category was construction work, classified under CPV code 45000000, and it utilised an open procedure method. Although the legal basis cited CELEX 32014L0024, due to the contract’s estimated value, it was not mandatory to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The council emphasised that the notice was published for advertising purposes, without a subsequent award notice.

This tender represented a significant opportunity for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those experienced in timber frame housing and sustainable building methods, such as Passivhaus standards. Firms capable of supplying and erecting timber frames, and who are registered suppliers on eTenderWales, were particularly well-suited for this kind of project. Despite its cancellation, similar projects from the City and County of Swansea may emerge, presenting future opportunities for companies specialising in construction work and associated materials. Given the project’s goals, it would likely have attracted companies focusing on innovation and eco-friendly construction solutions.
