Summary of the contracting process

Conwy County Borough Council is procuring highway stabilisation and retaining-wall construction at Waterloo Hill, near Waterloo Cottage, in Conwy county (LL22 8RH). The existing concrete bag retaining wall has deteriorated beyond repair and is at risk of failure. The works are intended to stabilise and replace it, comprising soil nails, a reinforced concrete retaining wall with masonry facing and a natural stone parapet, followed by carriageway reinstatement and resurfacing. The purpose is to secure the long-term stability of the highway. This is a civil engineering and road construction project, rather than a supply contract; the stated work is concentrated at the Waterloo Hill site.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement is divided into one lot, with the contract period set from 18 January to 9 April 2027. The estimated value is £275,000 excluding VAT (£330,000 including VAT). The deadline for questions was 13 November 2026 at 12:00, and the bid submission deadline was 19 November 2026 at 16:00. Bids are assessed on price, weighted at 70%, and quality, weighted at 30%. The selection criteria direct bidders to the tender pack for full details. Electronic submission is allowed. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

This work is suited to civil engineering and highway contractors with the capability to stabilise slopes and construct retaining structures in a live highway environment. Relevant experience would include soil nailing, reinforced concrete retaining walls, masonry facing, natural stone parapets, earthworks and pavement reinstatement or resurfacing. The scope calls for coordinated structural and roadworks delivery at a single site, including replacement of a deteriorated wall and restoration of the carriageway. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable, so the opportunity may fit a specialist contractor or a firm able to bring the required skills together through its delivery team. The stated evaluation gives quality a substantial role alongside price, making a clear, technically credible delivery approach commercially relevant.
