## Summary

Newport City Council commissioned specialist works to renovate highway railings with significant heritage and aesthetic value. The railings are prominently positioned on a key gateway route into Newport city centre, so the work combines railing renovation with care for an important visual feature of the city. The procurement is for fencing and railing installation work (CPV 45340000). The recorded delivery location is Newport, Wales. The requirement is a single package of works, rather than a set of separately described service or goods lots. It is specifically focused on these existing highway railings and their renovation, not general highway maintenance.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Newport City Council used a direct award below the public procurement threshold, without competition. Willis Construction Ltd was selected. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and is valued at £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 31 January 2027; the award period is recorded through 30 January 2027. The procurement was structured as one lot, which was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award information identifies renovation of the heritage highway railings as the work, but does not set out an evaluation framework or award criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Newport City Council for specialist renovation of prominent highway railings where heritage and appearance matter alongside the physical works. A credible competitor for similar work would need to show relevant experience in repairing or renovating existing railings and fencing, and the ability to deliver installation work while respecting the heritage and aesthetic significance of the asset and its prominent city-centre gateway setting. The single-package award suggests the requirement was delivered as a focused works contract rather than divided into separate lots. Willis Construction Ltd, a Cardiff-based SME, won through a direct award without competition; the procurement data does not identify specific accreditations, technical standards or selection tests, so these should not be assumed to have been decisive.
