Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea is seeking a contractor to carry out painting and building decoration work at Penlan, Swansea. The works also cover applying protective coatings. This is a single package of building work, rather than a supply contract, and the stated location is Swansea. The requirement is suitable for businesses undertaking painting and decorating, building maintenance or protective coating work. The council is the buyer and will use the competition to appoint a contractor for the Penlan works.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under the below-threshold procedure. The tender set a clarification enquiry deadline of 27 November 2026 at 12:00 and a bid deadline of 4 December 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is scheduled to run from 11 January to 4 May 2027. The estimated value is £115,000 excluding VAT, or £138,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Evaluation gives 80% to price, assessed through the price list and compensation event assessment, and 20% to quality relating to CDM. Selection requirements are set out in the request for quotation documents. Electronic bid submission is allowed.

This opportunity is relevant to painting and decorating contractors with the workforce and practical capability to undertake building painting and protective coating work in Swansea. The buyer identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it is not restricted to large suppliers. Price is the dominant evaluation element, with a smaller quality component focused on CDM; suppliers should therefore be able to provide a competitive, clearly priced offer and address the CDM requirements in their quality response. The contract is a defined, single-site package over several months, which may suit firms able to mobilise for the scheduled delivery period. Further selection requirements are contained in the request for quotation documents.
