Summary of the contracting process

City & County of Swansea is seeking building contractors to replace cavity wall ties and extract cavity wall insulation at 42 properties in the Sketty Park area of Swansea. The work is classified as construction works and includes insulation removal and replacement, alongside associated masonry and building work. The requirement is focused on existing homes rather than new construction, and is intended to address the cavity wall components across the specified properties. Delivery is in Swansea. The procurement is a single package covering the properties described, rather than separate lots for different services or locations. This will suit firms with the capability to undertake residential remedial building work involving cavity walls, insulation extraction and wall-tie replacement.

The council invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. This is the tender stage: the buyer has invited suppliers to bid. The deadline for questions was 22 October 2026 at 12:00 BST, and bids were due by 27 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 November 2026 to 30 November 2027. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 80% on price, including the price list and compensation events, and 20% on quality: 10% for compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and 10% for the project-specific works method statement. The tender indicates that SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are suitable to participate.

The opportunity is suited to contractors with practical experience in occupied or existing residential properties, particularly cavity-wall remediation, wall-tie replacement, insulation extraction and related masonry repairs. Suppliers should be able to plan and carry out the work across 42 homes and set out a credible, project-specific method statement. The evaluation places most weight on price, so firms able to price the work clearly, including the price list and compensation events, will be well placed; the quality submission must also address the applicable CDM 2015 requirements. The procurement expressly identifies SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable, making it relevant to smaller specialist building and insulation contractors as well as larger firms with the necessary delivery capacity. The single-lot structure calls for capability across the combined scope.
