UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government bought design, supply and installation works to refit the gift shops at Raglan Castle and Tintern Abbey, operated by Cadw. The work covers redesigning and manufacturing retail fixtures, fittings, displays and trims, and supplying and installing these items and lighting. Its purpose is to modernise the shops, improve product merchandising, increase display capacity and enhance the visitor experience. This is a commercial retail fit-out project involving construction work within historic visitor attractions. Delivery is at the two gift shops in Wales: Raglan Castle and Tintern Abbey.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ARJ CRE8 LIMITED. The Welsh Government ran a below-threshold limited competition through a competitive quotation exercise. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 12 March 2027. Its value is £182,000 excluding VAT (£218,400 including VAT). The requirement was treated as one lot. The contract covers the combined design, manufacture, supply and installation of retail-shop fixtures, displays, fittings, trims and lighting at both sites. The award is active and the contract is active.

For this buyer, the requirement demonstrates demand for a supplier able to deliver a complete retail fit-out for heritage visitor attractions, from redesign and manufacture through supply and on-site installation. Credible competitors would need practical capability across shop layouts, durable retail fixtures and fittings, displays, trims and lighting, with the capacity to coordinate work at more than one attraction. The work also calls for an understanding of merchandising and display capacity, and how the retail environment contributes to visitor experience. ARJ CRE8 LIMITED, an SME, was selected through a limited competitive quotation exercise, showing that a smaller specialist supplier can win this scale of project. Suppliers with relevant commercial retail refurbishment experience and the ability to manage end-to-end delivery are best aligned with this buyer's requirement.
