Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd is currently in the tender stage for its "Street Lighting Assets Structural Testing" project, aimed at appointing a company to conduct structural testing for street lighting on the highways of Gwynedd. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically electricity distribution and related services, within the UK region of Gwynedd (UKL12). The open competition procurement method ensures a fair selection process with submissions accepted via www.etenderwales.com. Key dates include an enquiry period ending on 16th July 2026, and the submission deadline on 24th July 2026 at 13:00. The contract, valued at up to £216,000, comprises three active lots encompassing force testing, eddy current, and ultrasonic testing, with a contract period starting 1st September 2026, extendable up to 31st August 2030.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in non-destructive testing and structural evaluation, particularly those adept in handling large-scale infrastructure projects.

The emphasis on price (60%), technical quality (30%), and social value (10%) in the award criteria offers a competitive edge to companies that balance cost-effectiveness with technical proficiency and community benefits, making it an attractive avenue for growth within the public sector contracting domain.
