Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council procured construction works to repurpose classrooms at Y.G Cwm Rhondda before the building’s demolition. The requirement covers the preparation and alteration of existing classroom accommodation, rather than general maintenance or the construction of a new building. The work is for the council and is associated with Cwm Rhondda in Wales, with the buyer based in Pontypridd. This is a local-authority building project delivered within the Rhondda Cynon Taf area. It is relevant to building contractors and construction firms with experience of adapting existing educational or public-sector premises, carrying out enabling works and managing site activity ahead of demolition. The procurement is classified as construction work and concerns a single requirement rather than separate service or supply packages.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. GKR Maintenance & Building Co Ltd was selected as the supplier, with an award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 7 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £559,923.83 excluding VAT, or £671,908.60 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the contract period, but does not provide a separate award date or an evaluation weighting. The route used was a limited competition under the procurement rules applying to the council, rather than an open tender.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the result demonstrates that Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council buys substantial, time-limited construction packages for adapting public buildings before demolition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the capacity to mobilise quickly, plan and deliver classroom alterations safely, coordinate works in an existing educational setting and complete enabling works within a tightly defined programme. Relevant experience would include refurbishment, alteration or fit-out of public or education premises, together with effective site management, supply-chain control and compliance with construction, health and safety requirements. Firms able to demonstrate reliable delivery of complex building works before demolition, supported by suitable staffing, subcontractors, financial capacity and evidence from comparable projects, would be well placed to compete when this buyer next requires similar work.
