Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd procured construction works to improve bus stops and shelters in Arfon, Gwynedd. The requirement covers physical infrastructure improvements to public transport facilities, including work on bus stop and shelter assets. Cyngor Gwynedd is the buying organisation, based in Caernarfon, and the works are for its Gwynedd area. The procurement was categorised as works, with construction work as the relevant classification. The opportunity was structured as a single requirement rather than a package of separate workstreams. It was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to contractors that can deliver local civil engineering, construction, refurbishment or public-realm infrastructure works, particularly those with experience working on bus passenger facilities or similar roadside assets.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 28 August 2026 at 1pm, with enquiries closing on 21 August 2026 at 1pm. The estimated tender value was £50,000 gross. GT Davies Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 7 September 2026. The active contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 26 February 2027 and is valued at £104,878.72 gross. Bids were evaluated on a 20% quality and 80% price basis, using a technical submission and a commercial submission. The process had one lot, covering the full bus stop and shelter improvement requirement. Electronic submission was allowed, and the tender was below the applicable threshold.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement demonstrates Cyngor Gwynedd’s demand for contractors able to improve bus stops and shelters in Arfon through practical construction delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the capacity to manage a defined public infrastructure works programme, carry out construction or refurbishment safely in roadside or public-facing settings, and provide a clear technical submission alongside competitive pricing. Relevant experience with bus stop structures, passenger shelters, associated external works or comparable local-authority infrastructure would help demonstrate capability. The successful supplier was an SME, so the requirement indicates that a suitably capable smaller contractor can compete, provided it can organise delivery, meet the buyer’s technical expectations and price the works effectively.
