UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea is procuring construction works for steel staircases, balustrading and balconies at various council properties in the Chestnut Avenue and West Cross area of Swansea. The requirement covers the construction and installation of steel access and safety structures, with the work classified as construction work. It is a council property improvement project delivered within Swansea. The procurement is for works rather than goods or general services, and is intended to support several council properties in the specified area. Suppliers whose core business is structural steelwork, metal fabrication, staircase installation, balustrading or balcony construction should find the scope relevant, particularly where they can work on public-sector property projects and coordinate delivery across multiple sites.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises a single requirement with an estimated value of £126,000 excluding VAT, or £151,200 including VAT. Questions and clarification requests had to be submitted by 17 August 2026 at 12:00, and bids had to be submitted by 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is from 30 September 2026 to 19 November 2027. Offers are evaluated on price at 70%, CDM Regulations 2015 at 10%, and technical capability, project specifics, stakeholder engagement, and supply-chain or subcontractor management at 5% each. Electronic submission is allowed through the eTenderWales portal.

This opportunity suits construction and specialist steelwork contractors able to design, manufacture, supply and install steel staircases, balustrading and balconies for council properties. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant technical capability and manage project-specific requirements, including coordination with the council and other stakeholders. The evaluation gives substantial weight to price, so firms with competitive estimating, reliable procurement and efficient installation methods may be well placed. Experience managing supply chains and subcontractors is relevant, as is a clear approach to compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to smaller specialist contractors with the necessary delivery capacity.
