Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea procured internal and external painting and repainting works to blocks of flats in Swansea town centre, covering Griffith John Street, Harrington Place and Llangyfelach Street. The requirement is classified as building painting work and includes work to occupied or communal residential blocks as described by the procurement title and scope. The buyer is the City & County of Swansea, and delivery is in Swansea. This is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity. The requirement covers a single package of town-centre painting activity for the named blocks, providing a clear fit for contractors delivering building refurbishment, internal and external decoration, and associated painting work in residential properties.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Bell Group Ltd was selected, with the contract signed on 19 June 2026. The estimated tender value was £85,000 excluding VAT and £102,000 including VAT; the awarded contract value is £91,007.99. The contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 23 October 2026, while the tender lot’s stated period runs to 26 October 2026. The tender deadline was 8 May 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation weighted price at 80% and quality or technical responses, including a CDM question, at 20%. Electronic submission was allowed, and consortia bidding was considered suitable.

This award shows demand from the City & County of Swansea for building painting and repainting across several town-centre residential blocks, delivered as a concentrated refurbishment package. A credible future competitor would need practical capacity for both internal and external painting, experience working on multi-block residential schemes, and the ability to answer quality and technical questions on CDM arrangements. Strong cost control is particularly important because price carried most of the evaluation weighting. The buyer considered the requirement suitable for SMEs, VCSEs and consortia, so smaller painting contractors could be well placed through an appropriate partnership or delivery team. Suppliers would also need to maintain accurate organisational information on the UK Government Central Digital Database and use the relevant Welsh electronic tendering route.
