Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea, through its Building Services function, is procuring the supply and delivery of double-glazed units. The units will support responsive repairs, planned maintenance and capital works across the council’s housing stock and operational buildings. This is a goods requirement for glass products, with delivery in Swansea and the surrounding council area. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist glazing suppliers able to provide double-glazed units and reliable delivery for building maintenance programmes. It covers the council’s own operational and housing assets rather than a standalone construction or installation contract. The procurement is intended to support ongoing repair and capital-work activity across public buildings and homes.

The procurement has reached award stage and the tender is complete. It used an above-threshold open procedure. Press Glass Limited was selected for the single lot, with an awarded value of £498,920 excluding VAT (£598,704 including VAT). The award date was 14 September 2026, with the standstill period ending on 23 September 2026. The awarded contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with an option to extend for up to 24 months, to a maximum end date of 30 September 2030. Evaluation weighted price at 90% and quality at 10%, with quality assessed through an ordering and delivery method statement. One bid was received. The scheduled signature date is 28 September 2026.

This award demonstrates established demand from the City & County of Swansea for double-glazed units supporting housing repairs, planned maintenance and capital works. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to suitable glass products, the capacity to fulfil council-scale orders and delivery arrangements that can support both responsive and scheduled work across housing stock and operational buildings. The evaluation shows that price was the main differentiator, but suppliers also needed to explain a workable ordering and delivery approach. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so a specialist glazing business or distributor with effective logistics could be relevant. Experience supplying public-sector or high-volume maintenance programmes would help demonstrate delivery reliability.
