Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea commissioned electrical engineering works at Clase Primary School, Rheidol Avenue, Swansea. The requirement was to rewire the school and included supplying, installing, testing, setting to work and commissioning the electrical services for the proposed scheme. Delivery was in Swansea. This is a building-services and electrical installation project, covering site works through to commissioning against a specification and associated drawings. The buying organisation is the City & County of Swansea, a Welsh public authority. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the work was structured for organisations of that scale as well as larger electrical contractors.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. City & County of Swansea used a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 11 June 2026, with enquiries ending on 8 June 2026. J.W. BOWKETT (ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS) LIMITED was awarded the contract on 21 July 2026; the contract was signed on 15 July 2026. The estimated tender value was £130,000 excluding VAT, or £156,000 including VAT. The signed contract value is £98,834.54 excluding VAT, or £118,601.45 including VAT. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 70%, with 15% each for CDM Regulations 2015 and project management.

This award shows Swansea’s demand for short-duration school electrical works covering a complete delivery cycle: installation, testing, setting to work and commissioning. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need an established electrical engineering installation capability, with the practical capacity to work safely in a primary-school environment and deliver against detailed specifications and drawings. Evidence of understanding and applying the CDM Regulations 2015 would matter, as would a clear project-management approach for coordinating site activities, quality control, testing and handover. The evaluation also placed strong emphasis on price, so suppliers would need disciplined estimating, transparent pricing and effective control of compensation events. The requirement was explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, supporting participation by capable smaller organisations.
