Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea procured works to refurbish the low-temperature hot-water (LTHW) system at Pontarddulais Comprehensive School. The scope covered preplacement of pipework in selected areas, forming part of a construction and mechanical-services requirement. Delivery was in the Swansea area, at or serving Pontarddulais Comprehensive School. This is a local-authority works opportunity focused on building-services infrastructure rather than general facilities management, supply-only work or professional consultancy. Businesses relevant to this requirement include mechanical-services contractors, heating and plumbing specialists, and construction firms able to undertake pipework installation or replacement within an occupied or operational education setting. The buyer was the City & County of Swansea, a Welsh sub-central public authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and awarded on 21 July 2026 to NARBETH'S MECHANICAL SERVICES LIMITED. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £119,754 excluding VAT, or £143,704.80 including VAT. The procurement had one completed lot covering the refurbishment works. The selected supplier holds an active contract, while the tender is recorded as complete. The evaluation route was limited competition rather than an open procedure. The award concerned construction works under CPV 45000000, with the requirement relating specifically to selected-area LTHW pipework replacement at Pontarddulais Comprehensive School.

This procurement demonstrates Swansea Council’s demand for specialist mechanical and construction capability to renew heating-system pipework in a comprehensive-school environment. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of LTHW refurbishment, pipework replacement and associated construction work, with the workforce, supervision and equipment to complete a defined installation package safely and efficiently. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that a business of focused scale could satisfy this type of local-authority requirement rather than only a major national contractor. Relevant firms should be able to manage work in an education setting, coordinate with the client and site users, and deliver building-services infrastructure to the required standard. Mechanical-services contractors with a local Welsh delivery base may be particularly well placed for comparable work from this buyer.
