Summary of the contracting process

Sport Wales is procuring works to upgrade the arena lighting at the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff. The project covers the main arena hall and includes replacing mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment in existing spaces. It is a construction project with associated construction-related services. The work is for the National Centre’s arena facilities and involves integrating upgraded lighting and MEP equipment into the existing building rather than delivering a new facility. Suppliers should therefore be able to undertake building-services and electrical works in an operational sports venue, with coordination across the arena hall and its existing equipment spaces. The buying organisation is Sport Wales, the Welsh public authority responsible for the centre.

The procurement has reached tender: Sport Wales invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot. The estimated value is £83,333.33 excluding VAT, or £100,000 including VAT. The enquiry deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 30 November to 14 December 2026. Evaluation is based on the financial submission, weighted at 70%, and the quality submission, weighted at 30%. The arena is scheduled for works while closed and vacant from 7 December 2026 until 17:00 on 14 December 2026, and the contractor is expected to plan the lighting upgrade within that period.

This opportunity suits an electrical, lighting or building-services contractor with the capability to upgrade arena lighting and replace MEP equipment within existing spaces. Strong candidates will need practical experience of working in a large sports or event venue, managing interfaces between lighting systems, mechanical and electrical services, and coordinating installation work around an existing facility. The requirement favours a contractor able to provide a suitably organised delivery team, plan efficiently around a tightly defined venue shutdown, and complete specialist works without disrupting other building systems. Businesses with relevant construction delivery experience, competent site management and the ability to produce a clear quality submission should be well placed to compete. Specialist subcontractors may be relevant where the main contractor can manage the complete package.
