Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea procured jet patching materials for road maintenance, including road-construction materials and associated road-maintenance equipment. The requirement covers the supply of materials used for repairing roads, with delivery across Swansea and the surrounding area represented by the buyer’s delivery location. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or service contract. The buyer is a Welsh local authority, and the requirement was arranged as one lot. The scope is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of jet patching or comparable road-repair materials, particularly those able to support local-authority highways maintenance operations and provide consistent product performance, samples and temperature information.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Bids closed on 8 May 2026, with enquiries closing on 1 May 2026. Two bids were received, including one from an SME. The contract was awarded to COLAS LIMITED on 13 July 2026. The award value is £181,000 excluding VAT and £217,200 including VAT. The signed contract is active from 24 August 2026 to 18 August 2028, with an option to extend by up to 24 months, to 18 August 2030. Evaluation weighted price at 40%, temperature at 25%, samples at 20%, lead-time at 10%, and collection of empty barrels at 5%.

This award demonstrates Swansea’s demand for specialist jet patching materials to support road maintenance and indicates a requirement large enough for established highways-materials suppliers, while the competition was also suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. A credible future competitor would need reliable supply capacity, products that meet the buyer’s required temperature performance, and the ability to provide representative samples for assessment. Fast and dependable lead-times are important, as is an operational arrangement for collecting empty barrels. Suppliers should be able to compete on price while evidencing product quality against the stated criteria. The route to market was an open competition, so manufacturers, specialist distributors and experienced road-maintenance material providers should monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements.
