Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd established the NMWTRA Consultancy Professional Services Framework Contract 2026 for multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy services. The requirement covers three types of work: consultancy services for estimates under £50,000, consultancy services for estimates over £50,000, and major consultancy professional services projects. The services are intended for use by Ceredigion County Council, Conwy County Borough Council, Denbighshire County Council, Flintshire County Council, Gwynedd Council, Isle of Anglesey County Council, Powys County Council and Wrexham County Borough Council. Delivery covers North and Mid Wales, including Gwynedd, Anglesey, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, Ceredigion and Powys. The procurement is classified as engineering services. The framework is open for use by the named Welsh local authorities.

This procurement has reached the award stage: all three lots are complete and suppliers have been selected, with awards pending contract signature. It was run as an above-threshold open procedure. Each lot has an estimated value of £16,000,000 excluding VAT and £19,200,000 including VAT; these are separate lot values and should not be added together. The award date for all lots is 28 August 2026, and the standstill period ends on 9 September 2026. Contracts are scheduled to start on 10 September 2026 and run to 30 August 2028, with one plus one-year renewal options extending the maximum period to 30 August 2030. Lot 1 was evaluated on technical quality weighted 75% and commercial cost 25%; Lots 2 and 3 were evaluated on technical quality alone. Lot 1 and Lot 2 were awarded to Amey OW Limited, AtkinsRéalis UK Limited, Mott MacDonald Limited and WSP UK Limited. Lot 3 was awarded to AtkinsRéalis UK Limited, Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited, WSP UK Limited and Ove Arup and Partners Limited.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from eight Welsh local authorities for multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy, ranging from smaller assignments to major projects. A credible future competitor would need to show strong technical consultancy capability across the relevant disciplines, with capacity to support both lower-value commissions and complex major projects. The framework’s three-part structure indicates that suppliers may need to operate at different scales, while the named-council coverage requires the ability to deliver across North and Mid Wales. The successful supplier group comprises large, established engineering and infrastructure consultancies, indicating that demonstrable technical depth, experienced professional teams and the operational capacity to serve multiple authorities would be important. For the smaller-work lot, commercial competitiveness also matters alongside technical quality; the larger-value and major-project lots place the emphasis on technical quality.
