UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wales & West Utilities Limited is procuring the supply and delivery of steel pipe fittings for the diversion of two high-pressure local transmission system natural gas pipelines. The requirement covers approximately 147 steel bends and eight cap ends in 600mm and 200mm diameters, with the full sizes and quantities set out in the tender documents. Fittings must comply with the T/SP/B/12 technical specification and, where required, be coated in accordance with GIS/CW6. This is a goods procurement for delivery in the United Kingdom. The work is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of large-diameter steel pipeline fittings serving gas transmission or comparable infrastructure projects.

The buyer has reached tender and invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. The process has four phases: conditions of participation, supplier vetting, tender submission and negotiation. Requests to participate must be submitted electronically by 14 August 2026 at 10:00 BST through the buyer’s e-sourcing platform; responses are in English. The estimated value is £445,000 gross for one lot. The contract is scheduled to run from 8 December 2026 to 1 April 2027, with a maximum extent date of 31 August 2027. The buyer may extend delivery dates and make additional purchases or amend volumes. Evaluation is 75% price and 25% lead-time, with award expected by 6 November 2026.

This opportunity suits SMEs as well as larger suppliers able to manufacture or source specialist steel bends and cap ends at 600mm and 200mm diameters. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate compliance with T/SP/B/12 and provide GIS/CW6 coating where required. The staged process requires evidence against basic legal, financial and ethical standards, followed by detailed supplier vetting covering tender-specific technical requirements. Successful participants must then complete the tender submission and may take part in a negotiation round. Manufacturers, specialist pipeline component distributors and firms with experience supplying gas transmission, local transmission or comparable high-pressure infrastructure projects are likely to be well placed, particularly where they can offer reliable delivery planning and short lead times.
