Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Mint is procuring a design, build and installation service for additions or modifications to its existing depopulation plant. The work is intended to control the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and potentially explosive dusts during normal operation, while ensuring emissions to the atmosphere remain within the required limits. This is an industrial process-control and environmental emissions-abatement requirement, involving machinery and equipment with dedicated functions. The work will be carried out at The Royal Mint’s site in Llantrisant, near Pontyclun, Wales. Suppliers should be able to develop a suitable technical solution around an existing plant rather than provide a standalone, off-the-shelf system.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £500,000 excluding VAT and £600,000 including VAT. Questions could be submitted until 13 October 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 20 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 23 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the award decision period ending on 6 November 2026. Electronic submission was allowed in English through www.royalmint.ukp.app.jaggaer.com. Tenders are evaluated on technical quality at 70%, social value at 10% and price at 20%. The requirement is above the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits engineering, process-equipment and environmental-control businesses that can design, manufacture or adapt industrial plant and then install and commission the resulting system. Relevant capability includes controlling VOC concentrations, managing dust with potentially explosive characteristics, and designing controls that support compliance with atmospheric emissions limits. Firms should be comfortable working on an existing depopulation plant, integrating additions or modifications into an operational industrial setting and delivering a complete technical solution within a short implementation period. The high technical weighting means demonstrated engineering quality and a robust approach are central to competing. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist SMEs with the necessary design, installation and hazardous-process experience may be well placed to bid.
