UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tai Calon Community Housing Ltd is procuring works to provide compliant domestic water service connections. The requirement covers replacing, renewing, diverting and installing water mains and associated service connections, together with testing, commissioning and related activities. It is a construction works opportunity focused on water-main infrastructure and refurbishment. The work is for domestic properties served by the housing provider in Wales, with the buyer based in Blaina. Suppliers will need to deliver the complete works associated with the water connection programme, from physical construction and alteration through to testing and commissioning. The scope is set out in the tender documentation and technical specifications, which prospective contractors should review before deciding whether the requirement matches their operational capability.

The procurement has reached tender: Tai Calon invited offers through an open competition. Enquiries were due by 16 October 2026 at 16:00, and offers were due by 22 October 2026 at 16:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the buyer’s e-tendering service, and an electronic auction was part of the process. The contract is valued at £1,000,000 excluding VAT, or £1,200,000 including VAT. The planned contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with provision for two 12-month extensions, allowing the arrangement to run until 30 November 2031. Evaluation is weighted 60% quality and 40% price. There is one lot, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity suits water-main contractors and civil engineering businesses able to carry out domestic water service connection works from installation or diversion through to testing and commissioning. Relevant capability includes managing construction activity on water infrastructure, renewing or replacing existing mains, completing compliant connections and delivering the associated works described in the scope. Contractors should be able to provide the technical resources, site management and workforce needed to deliver a programme of this type, while meeting the requirements in the tender documentation and technical specifications. The quality weighting means bidders will need to demonstrate a strong delivery approach, not simply offer a competitive price. SMEs are expressly identified as suitable, making this relevant to smaller specialist contractors with the necessary water-infrastructure experience and delivery capacity.
