Summary of the contracting process

Conwy County Borough Council is seeking a contractor to replace and stabilise the deteriorated concrete bag retaining wall supporting Waterloo Hill, which is at risk of failure. The works comprise installing soil nails and constructing a reinforced concrete retaining wall with masonry facing and a natural stone parapet. They also include reinstating and resurfacing the carriageway. The purpose is to secure the long-term stability of the highway. This is civil engineering and road construction work, classified under CPV 45000000 (construction work). The site is in Conwy, at postcode LL22 8RH. The requirement is a single, integrated highway retaining-wall scheme rather than a supply contract.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement has reached the tender stage. It is divided into one lot, with price weighted at 70% and quality at 30%; selection requirements are referred to in the tender pack. The estimated contract value is £275,000 excluding VAT (£330,000 including VAT). The contract period set by the buyer runs from 18 January 2027 to 9 April 2027. The deadline for questions was 13 November 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline was 19 November 2026 at 16:00. Electronic submission was permitted. The available tender materials include drawings, earthworks and pavement information, pre-construction information, and contract documents.

This opportunity is suited to civil engineering and highway contractors able to deliver retaining-wall stabilisation and associated roadworks as a coordinated package. Relevant capability includes soil nailing, reinforced concrete construction, masonry facing, natural-stone parapet work, carriageway reinstatement and resurfacing. Suppliers will need the practical capacity to carry out work at a highway site and manage the different structural and pavement elements within one contract. The quality component of evaluation means delivery approach matters alongside price, so businesses with experience planning and executing comparable retaining-wall or highway stabilisation schemes are well placed to compete. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to capable smaller contractors as well as larger firms.
