Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea is procuring groundworks for Phase 1 at Heol Myddfai, Felindre, Swansea. The works cover site preparation and clearance, together with drainage construction and surface drainage works. This is a single package of civil engineering groundworks for the Felindre development. The buyer is the City & County of Swansea, and delivery is in Swansea. The requirement is relevant to groundworks and civil engineering contractors with experience in preparing development sites and installing drainage. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable to participate.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition below the applicable threshold. The process reached tender, with one lot. Enquiries were due by 20 October 2026 at 12:00 noon; bids were due by 27 October 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period is scheduled to run from 7 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £90,000 excluding VAT (£108,000 including VAT). Evaluation places 85% weight on price, including the pricing schedule and compensation event assessment. The remaining 15% is divided equally across technical capability, project specifics and compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. Selection requirements are set out in the tender documents. Electronic submission is permitted.

This is a compact, short-duration package suited to contractors able to deliver site preparation and drainage works as a single undertaking. The scoring makes a competitive, well-supported price submission particularly important, while technical capability, understanding of the project-specific requirements and application of CDM 2015 each contribute to the quality assessment. Businesses should be equipped to plan and carry out groundworks at a development site, including drainage construction and surface drainage, and to address the associated health and safety requirements. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises means smaller firms and social-purpose suppliers are also considered suitable to compete. The award criteria do not state a required accreditation or minimum level of prior experience.
