Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government procured conservation and consolidation works to the inner gate house at Llansteffan Castle. The requirement is primarily specialist stonework, covering the repair and stabilisation of historic masonry associated with the castle’s inner gatehouse. The work is delivered at Llansteffan Castle in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The Welsh Government is the buying organisation and the procurement was managed as a public-sector works requirement. This is a heritage-building project rather than a general construction contract, so it is relevant to contractors with experience working carefully on historic structures, stone masonry and conservation-led repairs. The requirement concerns one complete package of works for the castle’s inner gate house.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a quick quotes exercise using a below-threshold limited competition. The tender was evaluated as a single works package. VaultStone Ltd was awarded the contract on 9 July 2026 for £28,000 excluding VAT, or £33,600 including VAT. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 20 January 2027. The award covers the Llansteffan Castle inner gatehouse consolidation works and is recorded as active. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, with the requirement focused on stonework and conservation works at the castle. The Welsh Government selected one supplier for the full requirement.

This award indicates a defined Welsh Government demand for specialist conservation work on historic masonry at a nationally significant castle site. Competitors seeking comparable future work would need practical stonework capability, experience consolidating and repairing heritage structures, and the ability to work within conservation-led constraints rather than applying standard modern construction methods. Credible suppliers are likely to demonstrate careful workmanship, appropriate planning for work on an historic monument, and capacity to deliver a complete small-scale works package. The winning supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller specialist contractor can satisfy this type of public-sector requirement. Relevant firms should monitor Welsh Government requirements for heritage stonework and prepare evidence of comparable completed projects.
