## Summary

Caerphilly County Borough Council is inviting tenders for a Framework for Bus Shelters and Associated Parts. The tender process follows the Open Procedure as per The Procurement Act 2023, and aims to establish a framework for three years, with a potential extension of up to two additional years. The framework will cover the supply of approximately 10 bus shelters annually, with the first phase ending in March 2027, and will require accompanying parts for their maintenance. Located in the United Kingdom, specifically the UKL16 region, this procurement falls under the goods category and involves an estimated value of £450,000 gross. The submission deadline is midday on 20th August 2026, with the enquiry period concluding on 17th August 2026. The contract will commence on 1st October 2026.

The opportunity presents significant potential for business growth, especially for those in the manufacturing and supply chain of public transport infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in producing bus shelters and related components are particularly well-suited to bid for this tender. The open, below-threshold competition allows competitive pricing strategies with price being the sole evaluation criterion, weighted at 100%. By participating, businesses can secure a stable demand over the framework period and establish themselves as key suppliers to the Caerphilly County Borough, enhancing their portfolio and potentially expanding their market reach in the public infrastructure sector.

## Notice

Caerphilly County Borough Council is seeking to procure a Framework for Bus Shelters and Associated Parts. The Authority is currently responsible for approximately 515 bus shelters located throughout the County Borough. The Authority anticipates that it will purchase approximately 10 bus shelters during the 2026/27 financial year. Suppliers will need to be able to confirm that they can do this prior to End of March 2027. Further purchases of approximately 10 bus shelters per year in future financial years will also be required. For the avoidance of doubt, this figure is an estimate only and requirements are both grant funding dependent and demand led. The Authority does not guarantee to purchase any quantities of components or works. Further to this, the Authority will likely require associated parts and equipment to ensure the upkeep of the Bus Shelters throughout their life. It is envisaged that parts will be purchased where appropriate from the original supplier throughout the lifetime of the shelter to ensure that they are maintained in accordance with the original product. Generic items may be purchased from the original supplier or elsewhere as the Authority deems appropriate. All information relating to the tender and contract can be found within the Tender Document Pack. This procurement process is being undertaken in accordance with the Open Procedure as set out within The Procurement Act 2023.
