Summary of the contracting process

Conwy County Borough Council is procuring construction works for Ysgol Craig y Don’s Big Bocs Bwyd project in Colwyn Bay. The works include fitting out a Pay as You Feel shop within a modified shipping container and installing a secure storage container, with the containers supplied and lifted by others. The contractor must provide bird, bat and swift boxes; construct an underground electrical duct from the existing school to the storage container; install a kitchenette and make minor alterations; and install two 10m by 5m canopies with associated ground works. The scope also includes entrance signage on proposed fencing. The project involves building construction, engineering works, construction materials, cabling and fabricated items, with work carried out on a school site.

The procurement reached tender and the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The deadline for enquiries was 1 September 2026 at 16:00, and offers were due by 3 September 2026 at 16:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract period was set from 22 October 2026 to 3 December 2026, with a maximum extent to 18 December 2026. Bids are evaluated on price, weighted at 70%, and quality, weighted at 30%. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract allows extensions of time for compensation events.

This opportunity suits a small or medium-sized construction contractor able to coordinate several building, installation and external works packages on an occupied or managed school site. Relevant capability includes container fit-out, secure storage installation, electrical ducting, small-scale plumbing or kitchenette installation, canopy construction, ground works, fencing signage and minor building alterations. The successful contractor will need to work from the tender documents and manage interfaces where containers are supplied and lifted by others. Site-control experience is important: the contractor must complete an on-site Work Permit, keep it updated, provide regular progress information, and clearly identify work areas and access. The work also requires attention to the school’s Asbestos Management Register and site-management arrangements.
