Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council is procuring construction works to provide a new reception area at Lewis School in Pengam. The project covers the reception-area build in accordance with the schedule of works and drawings A01, A02 and A03. It is a school refurbishment or construction requirement, classified under construction work. The work will be delivered at Lewis School, Pengam, within the Caerphilly County Borough area. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement is subject to Welsh devolved procurement regulations. The scope is described in the project drawings and schedules, so interested contractors will need to review those materials to understand the building work, specifications and associated obligations before deciding whether the opportunity fits their services.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single package, with electronic submission allowed through the Proactis Supplier Portal. The deadline for enquiries was 24 July 2026 at 23:59, and tenders were due by 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 17 August 2026 to 11 September 2026, with construction expected to start on 17 August 2026 or earlier by agreement; the stated duration is four weeks. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £95,999.99 including VAT. The sole award criterion is price: total project cost accounts for 100% of the evaluation. The lot is identified as suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits construction contractors able to deliver a small, defined school building project within a concentrated four-week programme. Relevant suppliers should have the workforce, site management and construction capability to create a new reception area in line with the specified drawings, schedules of works and pricing schedule. SMEs are expressly identified as suitable, making the requirement potentially appropriate for smaller building firms as well as larger contractors with the capacity to mobilise a site team quickly. Suppliers must be able to prepare a complete costed tender and submit it electronically through the Proactis Supplier Portal. The evaluation is based entirely on total project cost, so firms with clear pricing, reliable delivery planning and relevant construction experience will be well placed to compete.
