Summary of the contracting process

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council procured works at Nant Yr Odyn tip in Merthyr Tydfil, covering additional drainage and haul road works. The requirement falls within civil engineering and surface works, specifically drainage and surface works (CPV 45232451). The council was the buying organisation and the work was delivered within its administrative area. The scope indicates a site-based construction requirement involving drainage infrastructure and haul-road construction or improvement, rather than routine maintenance or professional consultancy. This opportunity is therefore relevant to civil engineering contractors, groundworks businesses and infrastructure specialists with experience of working on operational or former tip sites and delivering combined drainage and access-road works for local authorities.

The procurement was completed through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to McCarthy Contractors (Bridgend) Ltd. The award was active, and the contract was signed on 11 March 2026. The contract period ran from 16 March 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value was £696,287.02 excluding VAT, or £835,544.41 including VAT. The contract was terminated on 27 July 2026 because it was recorded as completed; implementation ended on 4 June 2026. The final value was £496,713.62 excluding VAT, or £596,056.34 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through the limited-competition route, with the published outcome identifying drainage and haul-road works as the awarded requirement.

This completed contract provides a useful local benchmark for contractors targeting similar council civil engineering work. A credible competitor would need to combine drainage construction with haul-road works, manage site operations safely and deliver practical infrastructure works at a tip or comparable earthworks site. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was within the capacity of a specialist small or medium-sized contractor rather than being limited to a major national infrastructure group. Relevant strengths would include groundworks delivery, drainage installation, road formation or surfacing, plant and site management, and experience completing works for a public-sector client. Businesses with a track record of delivering integrated packages through limited competition would be well placed when comparable requirements return to the market.
