Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "C279/2024/2025 SA1 Revetment Improvement Works" has been conducted by the Welsh Government, headquartered in Cardiff. This initiative falls under the works category, specifically focusing on sea wall construction and the use of stone for construction. The project is situated between Trafalgar Bridge and a promontory adjacent to the River Tawe, with the post code SA18EW. The process has reached the award stage as of 24th October 2025, with the contract having been signed on 18th September 2025. The procurement followed an open method, with the tender period ending on 29th August 2025, and received a total of three bids. Tom Prichard Contracting Limited emerged as the successful supplier, securing a contract valued at £158,170.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for companies involved in construction works or those supplying construction materials such as stone. The project's emphasis on sea wall construction work implies that businesses with expertise in maritime or coastal infrastructure will find it particularly suited to their skills. Furthermore, as the project allows for consortia bidding, it opens the door for collaborations between firms, stimulating business partnerships and fostering competitive advantage. Companies based in or near Cardiff, given their proximity to the site, might have logistical advantages in terms of transport and site access, which could be beneficial during execution.

Notice Information

Notice Title

C279/2024/2025 SA1 Revetment Improvement Works

Notice Description

Shoreline Management Wales (SMW) has carried out design work for a new rock revetment at SA1. The works are located between Trafalgar Bridge and a promontory adjacent to the River Tawe just downstream of the Barrage (see Appendix I).

Reference should be made to the location /access plan and general suite plan (Google Earth) which shows the location of the proposed works, the stockpile area and the access route to the site. Ref Post Code is SA18EW (adjacent to Y Fforum building UWTSD).
