Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea is procuring environmental improvement works to gardens within the curtilage of residential properties in West Cross, Swansea. The work covers upgrading boundary and party-wall fencing, gates, clothes lines, paths and hedges to meet the Welsh Housing Quality Standard. This is a construction and landscaping requirement, including garden landscaping and fencing. The contract is for physical works delivered at properties in Swansea, rather than for design-only, consultancy or routine maintenance services. It will suit contractors able to manage coordinated improvements to residential gardens and property boundaries, with the capability to deliver fencing, gate, path, hedge and associated landscaping works as a single package for the council.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot. Enquiries had to be submitted by 6 October 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 13 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the eTenderWales portal. The planned contract period runs from 14 December 2026 to 30 April 2027. The estimated value is £965,388.27 excluding VAT, or £1,158,465.92 including VAT. Award is based on 70% price and 30% quality: technical capability 6%, project specifics 7%, stakeholder engagement 5%, supply-chain and subcontractor management 4%, and compliance with CDM Regulations 2015 8%.

This opportunity suits construction and landscaping contractors with experience delivering multiple property-level external works, particularly fencing, gates, paths, hedges and garden improvements. Strong technical capability and a project-specific delivery plan will matter, alongside the ability to engage residents and other stakeholders during works at occupied or residential properties. Bidders should be prepared to demonstrate how they will manage their supply chain and subcontractors and comply with the CDM Regulations 2015. The evaluation gives substantial weight to price, but quality accounts for nearly a third of the decision, so contractors will need credible methods, competent site management and reliable delivery capacity. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
