Summary of the contracting process

South Wales Police, through the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, is seeking a contractor for planned and reactive carpentry maintenance and associated works. The requirement covers carpentry and joinery work alongside related repair and maintenance services. Delivery is across Wales. It is a single-lot services contract, with suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises recorded. The work is intended to maintain police facilities through both scheduled tasks and responses to maintenance needs. This opportunity will suit firms whose core business includes building carpentry and joinery maintenance, rather than suppliers offering unrelated goods or general services without relevant trade capability.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 26 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC; enquiries were due by 19 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The intended contract period runs from 1 March 2027 to 28 February 2031, with annual extensions possible through 28 February 2033. The stated estimated value is £6 million excluding VAT (£7.2 million including VAT). The award decision was due by 18 December 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. Evaluation allocates 50% to technical and social considerations, 25% to the pricing schedule and 25% to commercial scenarios. Economic and technical selection requirements are set out in the tender attachments, accessible through the eTenderWales portal using ITT 127949.

This opportunity is suited to carpentry and joinery contractors able to deliver both planned maintenance programmes and reactive repairs, together with associated works for a police service. The evaluation gives half the available weighting to technical and social considerations, so bidders should be ready to evidence the quality of their proposed delivery and relevant social value. Commercial proposals are assessed through both a pricing schedule and commercial scenarios, making clear, competitive pricing and the ability to respond credibly to practical service situations important. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable to bid. The four-year initial term, with potential annual extensions, favours suppliers able to maintain dependable delivery over a sustained period. The tender attachments set out economic and technical selection requirements.
