Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Gwynedd is procuring construction works at Pont Dolhendre in Llanuwchllyn. The project will replace the existing defective bridge, which consists of three Armco pipes and a cover slab, with a new single-span reinforced-concrete beam bridge. Construction must be organised in two phases so that the road remains open to traffic throughout the works. The work includes in-river activity, with all such work required to be completed as part of the bridge replacement scheme. The delivery location is Llanuwchllyn, Gwynedd. This is a local authority works requirement covering one bridge project rather than a broad programme of construction services.

The procurement has reached tender: Cyngor Gwynedd invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is divided into one lot. The deadline for enquiries was 7 August 2026 at 13:00, and the tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 13:00. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 17 October 2026, with all in-river work due by 17 October 2026. The estimated contract value is £65,000 gross. The buyer will evaluate bids on 80% commercial criteria, representing price, and 20% technical criteria, representing quality. Tender documents are available through the eTender system using ITT code itt_126423 – Pont Dolhendre, Llanuwchllyn.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized construction businesses able to deliver a focused bridge replacement project. Suppliers should be capable of constructing a reinforced-concrete single-span beam bridge and replacing an existing structure formed from Armco pipes and a cover slab. The work also suits contractors experienced in planning phased construction where a road must remain open to traffic throughout delivery. Practical capability in managing in-river works is important, since those works must be completed by the specified project deadline. Competitors should be able to coordinate the works across two phases and work within the requirements of a local authority infrastructure scheme. The evaluation gives greater weight to commercial value than technical quality, while still assessing the technical solution.
