Summary of the contracting process

Cyson Cymru is procuring refurbishment works for Newport Central Library and Museum in Newport. The requirement covers five linked phases across the building’s south and west elevations, together with localised internal remediation. The works include licensed asbestos remediation involving external window mastic and internal packing panels; removal and lawful disposal of degraded windows; installation of thermally broken, double-glazed aluminium units matching the original architectural sightlines; structural repairs to defective concrete cladding and exposed reinforcement; breathable anti-carbonation protection to repaired concrete panels; and internal plasterwork, drywall, redecoration and making good around affected window openings. This is a substantial building refurbishment package combining hazardous-material removal, façade and structural concrete repair, window replacement and internal finishing works.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is one lot covering the complete works package. Enquiries were due by 9 October 2026 at 17:00, and tenders were due by 16 October 2026 at 00:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the stated e-tendering system. The contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2027 at 23:59. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT, or £7,200,000 including VAT. Award is based on 70% price and 30% quality. Conditions of participation are set out in the tender documents. Cyson Cymru is the buying organisation and Welsh devolved regulations apply.

This opportunity suits a refurbishment or principal building contractor able to coordinate several specialist workstreams within a single programme. Relevant capability includes licensed asbestos containment, removal and disposal; safe de-glazing and window replacement; supply and installation of high-performance aluminium double-glazed units; structural concrete breakout and repair; reinforcement preparation and priming; polymer-modified mortar application; anti-carbonation coating systems; and internal plaster, drywall and redecoration works. Suppliers should be able to manage interfaces between external façade repairs, hazardous-material controls, window installation and internal making good, while maintaining the building’s original architectural appearance. The package is particularly relevant to businesses with experience in occupied or sensitive public buildings, façade refurbishment, concrete remediation and coordinated short-duration construction delivery.
