Summary of the contracting process

Codi Group Ltd is procuring the design and refurbishment of Exchange House in Swansea. The works include building completion and construction work, together with office furniture, furnishings, domestic appliances and cleaning products. The brief is to create more than a conventional office: the redesigned space should support workplace activity, learning, collaboration and community engagement within a housing, care, support and regeneration organisation. The commission begins at Exchange House but the design approach is intended to inform Codi’s wider workplace estate across its principal offices in Swansea, Cardiff and Newport, which together provide approximately 32,000 square feet of accommodation. This is a works opportunity for a design-led refurbishment partner able to address both the immediate building and broader workplace requirements.

The process reached tender: Codi Group invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries could be submitted until 26 August 2026 at 4:00 pm, and offers were due by 3 September 2026 at 2:00 pm. Electronic submission was allowed through the eTenderWales portal. The procurement has one lot, with an estimated value of £4,000,000 excluding tax and £4,800,000 including tax. The initial contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 September 2027, with renewal options described as 1+1+1 and a maximum extent date of 3 September 2029. Offers will be evaluated on quality at 65% and cost at 35%. The opportunity is identified as below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits design and refurbishment practices that can combine workplace strategy, architectural or interior design, construction delivery and furniture planning. Strong candidates will be able to develop a coherent environment supporting office work, learning, collaboration and community use, while addressing the practical requirements of a modern housing, care, support and regeneration organisation. The brief also favours teams able to design beyond a single project: the Exchange House solution should provide an approach that can inform Codi Group’s wider estate across Swansea, Cardiff and Newport. Suppliers should therefore be comfortable working across different office locations and translating a strategic workplace vision into deliverable refurbishment and completion works. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to capable specialist practices as well as larger multidisciplinary teams.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Design and Refurbishment of Office Space

Notice Description

Codi Group is seeking an exceptional design partner to help reimagine Exchange House as far more than a traditional office environment. We are looking for a team capable of redefining how workplace, learning, collaboration and community engagement come together within a modern housing, care and support and regeneration organisation. As a newly merged organisation, Codi currently operates from three principal office locations across Newport, Cardiff and Swansea, providing approximately 32,000 sq ft of accommodation. Whilst this commission begins with Exchange House, we are seeking a design approach capable of informing the future of Codi's wider workplace estate. We do not simply wish to refurbish an office.
