Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council procured works for the Rhymney High Street Environmental Improvement Scheme on the B4257 High Street in Rhymney. The scope covers installation of new drainage infrastructure and associated public realm improvements. The works also encompass general civil engineering and construction, surface works, paving and asphalting, road landscaping and footpath construction. This is a local highways and public realm project rather than a supply-only contract or consultancy service. Delivery is in Rhymney, within Caerphilly County Borough. The procurement falls within the works category and is relevant to contractors able to manage coordinated highways, drainage, surfacing, landscaping and public realm construction activities in a town-centre environment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Limited was selected on 13 August 2026. The awarded value was £125,000 excluding VAT (£150,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and is active, with a contract period from 17 August to 23 October 2026. The signed contract value is £194,059.72 excluding VAT (£232,871.66 including VAT), which differs from the original awarded value. There was one completed lot. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. Participation was governed by conditions set out in the tender documents, and electronic submission was allowed. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award shows Caerphilly County Borough Council’s demand for integrated highways and public realm delivery in Rhymney, including drainage infrastructure, paving, asphalt surfacing, landscaping and footpath construction. A credible future competitor would need practical civil engineering and construction capability across these disciplines, with the capacity to coordinate works in a high-street setting and deliver associated public realm enhancements. Experience of road and footpath works, drainage installation, surface construction and landscaping would be directly relevant. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, so suppliers would need to demonstrate a strong delivery approach as well as competitive costs. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that organisations of those types could be positioned to compete where they can evidence the required technical capability and capacity.
