Summary of the contracting process

The South West Wales Regional Civil Engineering Contractors Framework is a collaborative initiative led by Carmarthenshire County Council in conjunction with Ceredigion County Council, Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, Pembrokeshire County Council, and Swansea Council. The framework, valued at GBP 430 million, encompasses the delivery of various civil engineering projects across regions including Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire, and Swansea. Key industry categories included are civil engineering works, demolition, public lighting, and traffic management. The procurement, following an open procedure, has now progressed to the contract update stage, and the initial contract was signed on 6 February 2023, with a duration of 1080 days. Significant amendments were made on 4 September 2025 due to unforeseen circumstances with some suppliers ceasing operations. Business users should note the framework includes multiple value-banded and geographically based lots, ensuring a wide range of opportunities.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for various businesses, from SMEs to large corporations, specializing in civil engineering, construction, and related services. SME contractors can especially benefit from county-specific lots meant to encourage local participation and business growth. Additionally, specialist lots like traffic management and marine works provide opportunities for businesses with niche expertise. Companies ready to expand their regional operations in South West Wales can leverage this framework for increased exposure and the possibility of sustained contracts. Each lot has specific requirements and restrictions, ensuring diverse opportunities for diverse business landscapes. Prospective contractors are encouraged to align with the framework’s legal and technical criteria to maximise their prospects for successful engagements.
