Summary of the contracting process

Qualifications Wales is seeking a provider for planned and reactive facilities management at its premises in Newport, Wales. The services cover statutory inspections and maintenance, planned preventative maintenance, breakdown repairs and alterations, and potentially minor new works, for which the provider must supply quotations. This is a facilities management services framework for building installations, including their repair and maintenance. The work is for Qualifications Wales, the Welsh public authority responsible for qualifications, and is associated with its Newport site. The single lot covers the full facilities management requirement.

Qualifications Wales invited offers through a below-threshold open competition to establish a framework agreement. The buyer set 23 November 2026 at 17:00 for enquiries and 30 November 2026 at 17:00 for submissions. The framework is scheduled to run from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2030, with one possible extension of up to two years, to 29 February 2032. The estimated value is £133,333 excluding VAT (£160,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 60% on quality and 40% on price. Bidders must register on the Central Digital Platform and provide core information about their organisation, connected persons, and any associated persons or subcontractors relied on to meet participation conditions.

This requirement may suit small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is relevant to facilities management providers able to deliver both planned maintenance and responsive repair work for a public-sector building. Suppliers need capability across statutory inspections, preventative maintenance, breakdown maintenance and alterations; firms able to quote for minor new works may also be well placed. The combination of recurring maintenance and reactive call-outs favours providers with the operational capacity to manage both scheduled and unplanned tasks. Quality carries greater weight than price in evaluation, so bidders should be ready to demonstrate the quality of their proposed service as well as competitive pricing. The participation conditions require organisational and connected-person information, including for associated persons or subcontractors relied on to qualify.
