Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council procured mechanical verge mowing services for highways throughout Pembrokeshire. The work is verge maintenance, covering two geographic service areas known as Beat H1 and Beat H5. It is classified as works and is intended to keep highway verges maintained through mechanical mowing. The council is the buying organisation and the services are delivered across Pembrokeshire. Each area was treated as a separate lot, allowing the requirement to be delivered by different contractors. The procurement also established a closed framework arrangement with one supplier per lot, with prices submitted at tender stage and no reopening of competition for subsequent contract awards under the arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded, with contracts signed. MM Griffiths was awarded Beat H1 on 9 June 2026 for £93,000 excluding VAT (£112,050.24 including VAT). Camddwr Contractors Cyf was awarded Beat H5 on the same date for £105,000 excluding VAT (£126,000 including VAT). Both contracts run from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028, with an option, subject to agreement by both parties, to extend for up to two years in one-year intervals, potentially until 30 June 2030. The below-threshold process used an open competition. Five bids were received for Beat H1 and four for Beat H5. Evaluation weighted price at 60%, method statement at 25% and quality control at 15%.

This award shows recurring demand from Pembrokeshire County Council for specialist mechanical verge mowing on highway networks, delivered across defined geographic beats. A credible future competitor would need suitable mowing machinery, operational capacity to cover an allocated area, and experience managing verge maintenance safely and consistently alongside highway operations. The evaluation gives substantial weight to price, but quality remains important: suppliers must be able to produce a clear method statement and demonstrate effective quality-control arrangements. The competition attracted several bidders, including small and medium-sized enterprises, and both lots were identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses with local or regional highway-maintenance capability may therefore be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
