Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea procured works to replace the fire alarm system at Cefn Hengoed Comprehensive School in Swansea. The scope covers installing a complete new system in the main dining halls, kitchen and surrounding rooms, removing the existing fire alarm in those areas, and carrying out all associated testing, commissioning and builders’ work. This is a school-based electrical and fire-safety installation project, including fire-alarm system installation, electrical wiring and fitting, and related construction work. The buyer is the City & County of Swansea, a Welsh local authority. The requirement was structured as one package covering the identified works at the school.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was awarded to PHILLIPS SERVICES (WALES) LIMITED. The award was made on 24 July 2026 at £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 24 July 2026, with a contract value of £64,673.23 excluding VAT (£77,607.88 including VAT), and an active contract period from 3 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 80%, with quality assessing CDM Regulations 2015 at 10% and project specifics at 10%. The lot was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Selection requirements referred to the request for quotation documentation.

This award indicates demand from the City & County of Swansea for specialist fire-alarm replacement works in its education estate, delivered alongside electrical installation and associated building work. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need the capability to remove existing systems, install compliant new fire-alarm equipment, complete electrical wiring and fitting, and undertake testing and commissioning. It would also need to explain how it manages project-specific requirements and compliance with the CDM Regulations 2015. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing is central, while quality evidence on construction health and safety and the proposed project approach remains important. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the work can suit a capable smaller contractor with relevant delivery capacity.
