Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd procured improvement works to bus stops and shelters in Ceredigion, under the project title Bus Stop Infrastructure Improvements Ceredigion 2026/27. The requirement is classified as construction work and covers physical works to bus stop infrastructure, including shelters. Delivery is in Ceredigion, Wales. Cyngor Gwynedd is the buying organisation, although the work is for infrastructure in Ceredigion. The procurement was a single works requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to construction contractors and civil engineering firms able to undertake public-realm infrastructure improvements. Businesses with experience repairing, upgrading or installing bus stop and shelter assets would have a clear match to the subject matter.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries closed on 7 August 2026 at 13:00 and tender submissions closed on 14 August 2026 at 13:00. The contract was awarded to GT Davies Ltd on 20 August 2026. The original estimated value was £200,000 gross, while the awarded contract value is £225,058.24 gross. The active contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. There was one completed lot. Evaluation gave 80% to the commercial submission and 20% to the technical submission. Electronic submission was allowed. The process used the open procedure under the applicable Welsh devolved procurement regulations.

This award demonstrates a public-sector requirement for bus stop and shelter improvement works in Ceredigion at a scale suitable for an SME contractor. A credible future competitor would need the practical construction capability to repair, upgrade or improve bus stop infrastructure and shelters, together with the capacity to deliver a defined works programme within a short contract period. The evaluation places substantially greater emphasis on commercial pricing than on the technical submission, so firms would need competitive cost control alongside a clear, technically competent delivery approach. Relevant experience in public-realm, transport, highways or street-furniture works would help establish credibility, particularly where it shows safe site delivery, coordination and completion of multiple infrastructure improvements for a public buyer.
