UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Aberystwyth University, classified under the public authority - sub-central government and subject to Welsh devolved regulations, focused on the improvement of a piazza using a resin-bonded surface system. The work, categorized under construction with CPV code 45000000, is intended to enhance safety by providing a robust, non-slip finish. With the contract awarded directly to The Resin Co., a large enterprise based in Swansea, this procurement was undertaken below the threshold without competition. The project, fully completed by the active award status date of 9th July 2026, was slated to run from 1st to 31st August 2026, ensuring completion before the next academic term and minimizing disruption at the heavily used location.

This tender provides valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in niche construction techniques, particularly those with expertise in modern surface treatments like resin-bonded systems. Such specialists, especially those with the capacity for time-sensitive projects, can benefit from similar opportunities in the public sector, which often prioritise quick turnaround times to minimise community impact. Large-scale businesses with the requisite workforce and availability will find such tenders ideal for growing their portfolio in the public works domain, aligning with statutory procurement methods and enriching collaborations with educational institutions like Aberystwyth University.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Piazza Improvements

Notice Description

The proposed works involve recasting the steps using a resin-bonded surface system. This treatment provides a robust, non-slip finish that allows water to dissipate effectively and eliminates the joint failures that currently lead to misalignment and unevenness. Due to the limited number of firms with the capability to deliver this type of specialist work, it is recommended that The Resin Co. (Swansea) be appointed for this phase. They have the required expertise, workforce capacity, and availability to complete the works within a two-week window in August. This timing ensures completion before the start of the new academic term, avoiding disruption to this heavily used concourse during term time.
