UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government bought grounds maintenance services for Cadw sites in north-east Wales and Ynys Môn. The requirement covers routine grounds maintenance across sites in these areas, with the work divided between two awarded contracts: north-east Wales and Ynys Môn. The service category is grounds maintenance services (CPV 77314000). The buying organisation is Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, with procurement managed through its Corporate Procurement Services in Cardiff. Delivery locations are identified as north-east Wales and Ynys Môn, with an additional delivery location in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. This is a public-sector estates and land-management requirement for suppliers able to maintain multiple Cadw properties in geographically defined parts of north Wales.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition based on quotation exercises. Tir a Choed was awarded the north-east Wales contract for £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT); the contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, with renewal of up to six months and a maximum extent date of 30 September 2027. Eglas Limited was awarded the Ynys Môn contract for £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT), on the same signed date and contract dates. The award followed an unsuccessful open tender. The tender status is complete and both contracts are active.

This opportunity demonstrates defined Welsh Government demand for grounds maintenance at Cadw sites across two north Wales areas, with separate local delivery packages awarded to two Welsh SMEs. Suppliers considering future work of this type would need dependable grounds-maintenance capability, the workforce and equipment to service multiple public sites, and the operational capacity to cover either north-east Wales, Ynys Môn, or both. Credible competitors would also need to deliver consistently across geographically dispersed locations and manage the practical requirements of a public-sector estates service. The split awards show that specialist or regionally focused SMEs can be suitable, while suppliers seeking broader coverage would need sufficient local resources and service resilience to perform across more than one area.
