Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea procured labour-only plastering works for a project at West Cross, Swansea. The requirement is classified as plastering work and falls within the works category. The appointed contractor provides labour rather than a full materials-and-construction package, so relevant businesses are specialist plastering contractors able to supply site labour for the council’s project. The work is associated with one package covering the West Cross location. The council is the buyer and manages the requirement under Welsh public procurement arrangements. This opportunity is relevant to firms delivering commercial or public-sector plastering labour, including small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises that can undertake the required site works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. SAM DRYLINING LIMITED was selected, and the contract was signed on 10 September 2026. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 22 October 2027, with a gross value of £162,629.95 (£135,524.96 excluding VAT). The tender package had an estimated gross value of £165,600 (£132,480 excluding VAT). The tender submission deadline was 9 July 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry period ended on 3 July 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation placed 70% on price, 20% on compliance with the CDM Regulations 2015, and 10% on project management and project-specific matters. The contract has one completed package.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to provide dependable labour-only plastering capability for a substantial council construction project in Swansea. The evaluation shows that price is the dominant commercial factor, but technical compliance and delivery management together remain important: suppliers should be able to demonstrate sound understanding of the CDM Regulations 2015, effective project management and a clear approach tailored to the specific works. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the scale and delivery model can suit smaller specialist contractors rather than only national construction groups. Firms with a proven record of organising skilled plastering labour, managing site activity and submitting competitive price schedules or bills of quantities would be well placed when this buyer next tests the requirement.
