Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea is seeking a contractor to refurbish Ynystawe Skatepark in Swansea. The works include developing engineered proposals and carrying out construction on site. The refurbished skatepark will form part of a wider network of skateboarding and wheeled-sports facilities across the city and county, alongside existing facilities and other planned projects. The procurement is for construction works, with the skatepark as the single project location. Swansea Council has engaged Curve Studio to manage the project on its behalf; the appointed contractor is responsible for design proposals and delivery of the on-site works.

The council invited tenders through an open competition below the public procurement threshold. This is a single-lot works contract, with an estimated value of £315,000 excluding VAT (£378,000 including VAT). The planned contract period runs from 4 January to 14 May 2027. Questions could be submitted until 27 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 3 November 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation gives quality 60% and price 40%. Quality covers the project delivery team, programme, contractor design proposals and construction-phase health and safety, each weighted at 15%. Price assessment covers the pricing schedule and compensation events. Electronic submission was permitted.

This opportunity suits an experienced, qualified skatepark or construction contractor able to develop design proposals and deliver refurbishment works on site. Bidders need to demonstrate a capable project delivery team, a credible programme, sound construction-phase health and safety arrangements, and competitive pricing, as these are the stated evaluation areas. Design capability matters alongside construction delivery: contractor design proposals carry the same individual weighting as the team, programme and health and safety. The buyer considers consortium bids suitable, so businesses may combine design and construction expertise or other relevant delivery capacity. The work is one defined skatepark project within a broader programme of wheeled-sports facilities, making relevant experience in skatepark construction or refurbishment pertinent to suppliers considering whether their skills match the requirement.»}THOOK}
