Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea sought a contractor for steel staircases, balustrading and balconies at various council properties in the Chestnut Avenue and West Cross area of Swansea. This is a construction works requirement involving the manufacture, supply and installation of steel access and safety structures. The work is for council properties in Swansea, so it suits contractors able to operate locally or mobilise resources to the area. The requirement was structured as a single package covering the council’s stated works rather than separate service categories. Businesses specialising in structural steelwork, metal fabrication, staircases, balustrades, balconies or associated installation work are the most relevant potential suppliers.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed through the eTenderWales portal. The enquiry deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00, and the tender deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period was 31 August 2026 to 19 February 2027. The estimated value was £126,000 excluding VAT, or £151,200 including VAT. Evaluation was based on price at 70%, compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 at 20%, and project management and project-specific detail at 10%. The procurement was cancelled after discrepancies were identified in the tender and contract documentation; the council said it would re-advertise the tender enquiry.

This opportunity suits a small or medium-sized enterprise, and participation was also identified as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The strongest fit is a contractor with practical capability in steel fabrication and installation, including staircases, balustrading and balconies for occupied or operational council properties. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate robust project management and provide clear, project-specific proposals, as these formed part of the quality assessment. Competence in applying the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 is important, alongside the ability to prepare accurate pricing through a price list or bill of quantities and assess compensation events. Firms should also have sufficient installation capacity and construction delivery experience for council property works.
