Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd commissioned construction works to improve bus stops and shelters in Meirionnydd, Gwynedd, under the programme titled Bus Stop Infrastructure Improvements Gwynedd – Meirionnydd 2026/27. The work is public-realm transport infrastructure rather than the supply of vehicles or transport operations. The requirement covers one package of works and is categorised as construction work. Delivery is in the Meirionnydd area of Gwynedd, although the published delivery address identifies only the United Kingdom. Cyngor Gwynedd is the public authority buying and managing the works. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to construction contractors and infrastructure specialists with the capability to undertake bus-stop and shelter improvement works for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. GT Davies Ltd was selected for the single lot. The published tender estimate and lot value were £50,000 gross, while the signed contract value is £114,321.47 gross. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 26 February 2027. The award decision used a weighted combination of technical quality and price: the technical submission counted for 20% and the commercial submission for 80%. Bids could be submitted electronically, with enquiries closing on 21 August 2026 and tender submissions closing on 28 August 2026. The contract is active and below the relevant threshold.

For a supplier assessing future work from Cyngor Gwynedd, this procurement demonstrates demand for small-scale transport infrastructure construction in Meirionnydd. A credible competitor would need to deliver physical improvements to bus stops and shelters, prepare a convincing technical submission, and offer commercially competitive pricing, since price carried substantially more weight than technical quality in the evaluation. The requirement was explicitly suitable for SMEs, so participation was not limited to large national contractors. Relevant businesses include local construction firms and specialist public-realm or transport-infrastructure contractors able to manage works for a local authority. The completed award also provides a useful benchmark for the type of requirement, procurement route and supplier profile that may inform future market engagement with this buyer.
