Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea is seeking a contractor for groundworks and drainage for its Transforming Homes project in Townhill, Swansea. The works include site preparation and clearance, drainage construction, and drainage and surface works. The requirement is a single package of construction work for the project; the published description does not break the activities down further. The buying organisation is the council, and the delivery location is Swansea. This is a local works contract rather than a supply or service opportunity, suited to firms undertaking groundworks and drainage construction. The procurement is a below-threshold competition, with one lot covering the stated works.

The council invited offers through an open competition. The enquiry deadline set was 16 October 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 16 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. The estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). Price carries 70% of the evaluation, covering the pricing schedule and compensation event assessment. The remaining 30% is allocated equally across three quality areas: CDM, project specifics and project management, each weighted at 10%. The selection criteria refer bidders to the tender documents. Electronic submission is allowed, and the tender documents are accessed through the eTenderWales portal.

The opportunity is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, both identified as suitable to participate. It will particularly suit contractors able to deliver groundworks and drainage alongside site preparation and clearance, and to manage the associated construction project in Townhill. Bidders need to address CDM, project-specific requirements and project management in their quality submissions; together these account for 30% of the assessment, while price is the main award factor. The modest, single-lot scale may suit a local or specialist contractor with capacity for a defined works package over the stated contract period. The selection requirements are set out in the tender documentation.
