Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea is actively seeking contractors for an "Electrical Works at West Cross" project, in accordance with Welsh devolved regulations. The procurement process is in the tender stage, with opportunities to bid closing on 8th July 2026. This project involves insulating the external walls of properties, requiring electrical subcontractors to safely remove and reinstate electrical components, upgrade meter cupboards, and potentially install new lighting systems. The location of work is within the UKL18 region, and the main industry category is electrical installation work. The total contract value is estimated at £36,000, with a gross value of £30,000. Potential bidders can access detailed tender documents and submit bids via the eTenderWales portal.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses in the electrical installation sector, particularly those specialising in external renovation work. It is ideal for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of managing projects involving upgrades and installation of electrical systems. The open procurement method fosters a competitive environment, encouraging smaller firms to leverage their expertise and secure growth in government contracts. Successful bidders will benefit not only from the financial dimension of the contract but also through the enhancement of their portfolio with a government-backed project in Wales.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Contract for Electrical works at West Cross

Notice Description

The scheme includes Swansea council insulating the external walls to each property with 100mm insulation. For Swansea council to achieve this, it will be required by the electrical subcontractor to remove and make safe any electrical accessories from the externals and reinstate once works have been completed. Where the properties have external meter cupboards at present, these will require upgraded 25mm tails and 16mm CPC run from internally to the newly positioned meter cupboards. Any properties that at present don't have external lighting will require newly installed cabling, containment, light fittings and any other items for a complete installation.
