Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council is procuring building works at Bargoed Library: renewal of the traditional lime render on the side elevation and decoration, including painting the windows. The requirement is classified as construction work and construction materials and associated products. The work will be delivered at Bargoed Library in Caerphilly County Borough, Wales. This is a focused refurbishment project rather than a general maintenance or supply contract, with the scope and technical requirements set out in the project documentation. It should suit contractors able to prepare and apply traditional lime render and carry out associated external window painting and decoration works, with the resources to complete a small public-building refurbishment for the council.

The procurement has reached tender: Caerphilly County Borough Council invited suppliers to submit offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted through the electronic supplier portal by 14 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, and tenders had to be submitted by 16 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 October 2026 to 23 October 2026. Its estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. There is one lot. The award decision is based entirely on price: total project cost carries 100% of the evaluation weighting. Electronic submission is permitted through the Proactis Supplier Portal, with tender documents accessed through the opportunity record.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized construction, building refurbishment and specialist rendering contractors. Relevant suppliers will need practical experience of traditional lime-rendering techniques, including preparing and applying lime render to an existing external elevation, together with the ability to paint and decorate windows. Contractors should also be able to plan and deliver short-duration works at a public library, manage site activities safely, protect the building and surrounding areas, and complete the works to the specification and programme in the invitation-to-tender documents. The requirement is likely to favour firms with an appropriately skilled workforce, suitable rendering and decorating equipment, and experience delivering comparable external repair or conservation-style refurbishment projects for public or commercial buildings.
