Summary of the contracting process

Caerphilly County Borough Council is seeking works to install access controls at the front pedestrian gate of Cwm Ifor Primary School in Caerphilly. The work includes excavating a trench from the gate to the school plant room and installing cables, then running them internally to new gate controls in the reception office. The contractor must install inspection chambers where required, reinstate disturbed areas with macadam, fence off the work area with Heras fencing to prevent unauthorised access, and provide the necessary scaffolding and access equipment. This is a school-site electrical installation and associated building work, including gate-control installation and making good after excavation.

The council invited tenders through an open competition for a single package of works. The enquiry deadline was 6 November 2026 at 23:59, and tenders were due by 13 November 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 29 January 2027. The estimated value is £35,000 excluding VAT (£42,000 including VAT). Price is the sole stated award criterion: total project cost, weighted at 100%, based on the pricing schedule. The selection criteria direct bidders to the invitation-to-tender document. The procurement is below the relevant threshold, and electronic submission is allowed. The buyer set no other award factors in the stated evaluation basis.

This opportunity is suited to electrical installation contractors able to fit access-control equipment and route cabling between an external gate, plant room and school reception. Delivery also requires practical excavation and reinstatement capability, including macadam surfacing, plus the ability to provide inspection chambers where needed. Contractors must manage a work area on a school site, protect it from unauthorised access with Heras fencing, and supply suitable scaffolding or other access equipment. The scope combines electrical work with associated site and making-good tasks, so firms able to coordinate these elements may be well placed to deliver. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. The stated evaluation is entirely price-based, making a clear, complete project-cost submission important.
