Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council procured construction works to refurbish the kitchen at Cwmlai Primary School. The requirement is a building and refurbishment project focused on a school kitchen, rather than the supply of standalone catering equipment or routine facilities management. The work is being delivered for the council at Cwmlai Primary School in the Rhondda Cynon Taf area of Wales. This is a local-authority capital works requirement and may be relevant to building contractors, refurbishment specialists and firms with experience working in occupied or operational education settings. The named construction classification is CPV 45000000. The procurement covered one complete requirement rather than separate packages for different trades or workstreams.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was divided into one lot. GKR Maintenance & Building Co Ltd was selected as the supplier, with an award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 17 July to 29 October 2026. Its value is £244,016.85 excluding VAT, or £292,820.22 including VAT. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement information. The contract itself is active, so the award represents the current outcome for the kitchen refurbishment requirement rather than an invitation to submit a tender. Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council is the buying organisation.

This award provides a useful benchmark for contractors pursuing similar school kitchen refurbishment work for Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council. A credible competitor would need to deliver construction and refurbishment works as a coordinated package, with the practical ability to work in a school environment and complete a defined project within a short delivery window. Relevant experience in commercial or institutional kitchens, building alterations, internal fit-out, compliance-led refurbishment and managing multiple site trades would strengthen a future response. The procurement route also shows that the council has used a below-threshold limited competition for this type of requirement, so firms seeking comparable work should be capable of engaging through a restricted invitation process rather than relying only on open tender opportunities.
