Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council procured the supply and installation of spectator seating suitable for external sporting environments. The requirement includes spare seating units and installation works, with the contractor responsible for delivering a safe, durable, high-quality seating solution that complies with relevant standards, specifications and industry best practice. The procurement covers seats and associated seating products, together with construction work for sports facilities. Delivery is within the Caerphilly County Borough Council area in Wales. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is principally for goods, with associated installation works. The scope is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist installers of outdoor sports-venue seating, particularly businesses able to provide both the seating units and the associated installation service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold open competition. Ferco Seating Systems Ltd was selected. The tender closing deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00, following an enquiry deadline of 23 June 2026 at 17:00. The estimated value was £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and is valued at £74,690 excluding VAT (£89,628 including VAT), running from 7 August to 15 September 2026 under the tender terms; the signed contract period is 16 July to 28 September 2026. There was one lot. Price carried 100% of the evaluation, while bidders’ technical ability was assessed at Stage One. Additional seating units and installation services could be procured as options.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for outdoor spectator seating, spare units and associated installation for a Welsh local authority. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to manufacture or supply seating suitable for external sporting environments and provide installation capability, rather than supplying products alone. Evidence of technical ability would be important, because this was assessed at the first selection stage. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate compliance with relevant standards and specifications, safe installation practices and the ability to deliver durable seating for long-term use. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so established specialists and capable smaller providers may be well placed to compete.
