UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd is seeking a consultant to prepare the Strategic and Economic Case to Outline Business Case level for protecting the existing sea wall at Criccieth West Beach in Gwynedd. The work will support development of an Outline Business Case for Welsh Government approval. A Strategic Outline Case has already been completed and approved, so the commission is focused on taking the project through the next business-case stage rather than developing the initial case. This is a professional services requirement covering architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The work is linked to Criccieth West Beach and will be of interest to consultancies working on coastal protection, sea-wall schemes, infrastructure planning and public-sector business cases.

The procurement has reached tender: Cyngor Gwynedd has invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 28 August 2026 at 13:00, and offers were due by 4 September 2026 at 13:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the etenderwales procurement system. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £70,000 including applicable taxes. There is one lot. Offers will be evaluated on the technical submission at 60% and the commercial submission at 40%. The selection criteria and tender documents are provided through the etenderwales opportunity identified as itt_126256.

This opportunity suits a consultancy able to develop public-sector infrastructure proposals from an approved Strategic Outline Case through to Outline Business Case. Relevant capability includes preparing strategic and economic cases, assessing options for protecting an existing sea wall, and producing evidence suitable for Welsh Government approval. Firms with experience in coastal protection, marine or civil engineering, infrastructure appraisal and construction-related technical advice are likely to be well placed to respond. The requirement combines business-case development with architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, so a multidisciplinary team may be appropriate. Cyngor Gwynedd has marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to specialist coastal or infrastructure consultancies as well as larger firms.
