Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea is seeking a contractor to design, supply, erect and dismantle scaffolding for its Transforming Homes project. The work is at 75, 77, 79 and 81 Gwynfor Road, Cockett, Swansea. It is a single construction works package covering the scaffolding needed at these properties, including both erection and dismantling. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement suits firms providing scaffold design and supply alongside safe installation and removal, rather than suppliers offering construction services unrelated to scaffolding.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline set by the buyer was 7 October 2026 at 12:00 BST; the bid deadline was 14 October 2026 at 12:00 BST. The contract period is 9 November 2026 to 26 February 2027. The estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). Price accounts for 70% of the evaluation, assessed using the Bill of Quantities and compensation event assessment. The remaining 30% is quality: project specifics and compliance with the CDM Regulations 2015 each carry 10%; supply-chain and subcontractor management carries 7.5%; and technical capability carries 2.5%.

This is a defined, site-specific scaffolding contract for four properties, with a short delivery period and a single package rather than several lots. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. To compete effectively, suppliers need to show they can design and supply the scaffold, erect it and dismantle it, and manage the project’s site-specific requirements. Evaluation also gives substantial weight to price, so a clear, competitive bill of quantities and a sound approach to compensation events matter. Bidders should demonstrate technical capability, effective supply-chain or subcontractor management, and an understanding of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. The stated selection criteria direct suppliers to the tender documentation.
