## Summary

Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council is initiating a procurement process under the planning stage for significant carriageway works on the A4046, spanning from Cwm to Aberbeeg. This public procurement falls under the works industry category and is governed by Welsh devolved regulations, with the primary legal basis being the legislation from 2023. The anticipated works include upgrading highway drainage, extending vehicle restraint systems, carriageway resurfacing, and installing reflective road studs, alongside implementing a reduced speed limit for safety. The tender will follow an open procedure procurement method, with a gross estimated budget of £3,000,000. It is a planned procurement with a contract period starting 1 August 2026 and concluding by 31 March 2027. Businesses interested should note the future notice publication date set for 1 June 2026.

This procurement represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those with expertise in highway surfacing and road safety improvements. With the open procedure, the process is accessible to various firms, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Contractors with experience in large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly those with a track record in drainage systems and reflective road studs installation, would be well-suited for this contract. The project not only offers a lucrative financial prospect but also the potential for establishing or strengthening relationships with local government authorities, positioning a company as a key player in public infrastructure development.
